Hunter Douglas is one of just 34 VPP Star Sites in Colorado.

“We at Hunter Douglas pride ourselves on upholding the highest level of safety for all of our employees, and receiving the VPP Star Site at the Broomfield facility for the 16th consecutive year is a prime example of this,” said Doug Barr, President and General Manager Hunter Douglas. “I could not be more proud of the Hunter Douglas team members, as they are crucial to the overall safety of our facilities,” Barr continued.

Hunter Douglas first received the prestigious award in 2002, which is a result of a rigorous and comprehensive on-site evaluation by a team of OSHA safety and health experts. To mark the achievement, Hunter Douglas hosted an event on Friday, July 20^th at the Hunter Douglas Broomfield site.
