Liz Conte is a safety engineering co-op/intern at Smurfit Westrock, in Lancaster, PA. This is a corrugated packaging facility, producing standard cases, boxes and trays that are suitable for all industries. She worked in the wastewater area of the facility to improve the personal protective equipment (PPE) standards and enhance the standard operating procedures. She is also scheduling and attending all training sessions for all employees who will be working with wastewater.
Conte will also work on revitalizing the safety committee within the facility and increasing employee involvement. Safety is Smurfit Westrock’s number one priority, and strengthening the committee will significantly enhance safety throughout the facility.
Lastly, she will assess all spill kits on-site, ensuring they are fully stocked and ready for use. She will deliver a presentation at the facility-wide meetings in July to educate all employees on the location and how to use the spill kits.
