At Hoover, our mission is clear: to make people and their environments—where they live, work, and play—safer. By promoting the use of fire-retardant-treated wood (FRTW) products, Hoover is redefining the conversation around fire safety, life safety, and innovation in construction.
However, this mission starts with one essential group—our team and the places we work.
Lynn Morris, our Director of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), often says, “Safety by choice, not by chance.” And thanks to the dedication of our team, this approach is working.
We had four plants with ZERO incidents reported for 2023. These are outstanding achievements, and we want to thank the following employees for embodying Hoover’s safety values and making Hoover a safe place to work.
