Safety

Tucked along a two-lane highway in southern Illinois, just a few miles apart, sit Covia’s Elco and Tamms plants. This dynamic duo of facilities has a long history of delivering success, all while keeping service and safety at the heart of everything they do.

Natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and winter storms can bring visible danger and destruction - but don't overlook the hidden threats that can follow these devastating events.

Each September, Covia comes together for our company-wide Safety Day—a meaningful opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to one of our guiding principles, Safety First. At Covia, safety isn’t just a priority,

Covia’s Roff Plant was recently named the Pontotoc Technology Center (PTC) Partner in Progress for 2025, recognizing its outstanding commitment to workforce development and hands-on education in south-central Oklahoma.

Across East Texas, fire departments are first on the scene, protecting people, property, and entire communities, often with limited resources.

At Georgia-Pacific, safety is more than a priority – it’s a mindset reinforced at every level of the organization and across all of our facilities. Our people are the driving force behind it, ensuring that they and their colleagues leave their shifts the same way they came in.

Because our customers live in areas prone to some of the most severe weather in the country, we prepare for the worst of what Mother Nature might bring. Day after day and year after year, we stand storm ready.

Since 2007, we've invested nearly $1 billion to transform our Brewton Containerboard Mill into a model of innovation. Thanks to modernized equipment and the dedication of our employees, we've created a cutting-edge, sustainable and safer workplace.
