Our Association has a long history dating back to World War II. In the beginning, we were known as the Southern Pulp & Paper Safety Association. This is when manpower was scarce and it was important to have all people at work as often as possible. The pulp and paper industry made its contribution in many ways, one of which was to become involved in an accident prevention program. This led to the creation of the Southern Pulp & Paper Safety Association. In May 1992, we became the Pulp & Paper Safety Association in response to a need for a national industry organization. The Association has grown with member locations across the globe. We are still a non-commercial, non-profit and non-political organization. The Board of Directors consists of volunteers from some of our member companies and are voted to a one year term by the Association membership. These companies see the value in “Bringing the Industry Home Safe” and allow time and support to the Association. https://ppsa.memberclicks.net/assets/Membership/PPSA%20PowerPoint%20Presentation-2020.pdf
