Lippert Components, Inc. promoted Erick Click to Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). Previously, Click was director of EHS.
In his new role, the company stated Click will lead environmental health and safety functions across the enterprise, working with operations and EHS teams to provide a safe and healthy working environment for Lippert team members.
“Although we have had some incredible accomplishments and improvements over the last several years, the momentum does not stop here,” Click said. “We want to continuously strive to do better and fulfill our long-term vision of producing a working environment that is as free of risks and hazards as possible. We can only do that by engaging our team members to be a part of the process.”
Click has 26 years’ environmental health and safety experience, including 23 in manufacturing EHS. He began at Lippert in 2010 and dramatically improved Lippert’s safety record the past 10 years, the company stated.
“Leading the industry regarding environmental health and safety is the overarching objective,” said Ryan Smith, Lippert group president of North America. “We want to be the company that sets the standard for our industries, and I’m thankful that we have a professional like Erick leading our EHS teams. With his proven leadership skills and expertise, our teams will learn and grow to become exactly what is needed to set the standard.”
Lippert stated Click plans to improve and produce a safer working environment by reducing risk in processes and modifying Lippert team members’ behaviors.
“Efficiency is the name of the game here, and we have to adopt the mindset that we can,” Click said. “We can produce RV components, be profitable, and do it safely all at the same time. I am looking forward to building deeper relationships with our operations team that not only improve processes and safety-related behaviors but also continue to drive the business as a force of good. I am confident that we will leave our footprint on the industry as we all work together to produce a safe working environment that embodies our core values.”
