OREANDA-NEWS. April 12, 2016. R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company(Nasdaq:RRD) announced today that its Senatobia, Mississippi production facility has been recommended for recertification to Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star Status by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).

Created in 1982, OSHA's VPP certification signifies the implementation of effective health and safety management systems and is attained only after an organization undergoes a rigorous onsite evaluation conducted by a team of health and safety professionals. The Star Status designation is the highest certification level granted by OSHA and is given to companies with exemplary safety and health management systems that have achieved injury and illness rates at or below the national average of their respective industries.

"This important recertification and renewed accomplishment is a direct result of our employees' continuing commitment to operational excellence," said

Dan Knotts, RR Donnelley's Chief Operating Officer. "Overall, our five VPP Star Status-certified facilities have evolved into models of excellence and serve to influence best practices industry-wide. Among the many milestones that RR Donnelley achieves, those involving safety are our most important and we remain exceedingly proud of the accomplishments of our Senatobia employees."

Michael Manzella, RR Donnelley's Senior Vice President of Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality, & Chief Sustainability Officer, commented, "The VPP certification is a lengthy process. As part of the evaluation, OSHA also conducts extensive interviews directly with employees as an important barometer of a company's overall safety and health program. We are particularly proud that representatives from OSHA expressed admiration for the knowledge, dedication and commitment of our employees."

RR Donnelley's Senatobia facility employs state-of-the-art technology to supply magazines and catalogs primarily to medical journals and magazine publishers.
