A visible example of Safer Together

Owens Corning’s Safer Together platform reflects the company’s belief that everyone shares responsibility for safety through care, awareness and everyday action. The ARMA recognition gives that commitment a clear example across roofing operations.

“Safety recognition matters because it reflects what employees do every day,” said Ken Creasy, Ph.D., vice president of Roofing operations, strategy, and supply chain. “Across Owens Corning plants, teams identify issues, share concerns, intervene when needed, follow critical procedures, and learn from one another. These actions help create workplaces where safety is practiced through daily decisions and behaviors.”
