Leading RV components and accessories manufacturer Lippert has announced that it has promoted Eric Click to the position of vice president of environmental health and safety (EHS). Eric was previously director of EHS at Lippert and in his new role he will be tasked with leading environmental health and safety functions across the company, working with operations teams and the EHS team to provide a safe and healthy working environment for Lippert employees.

Eric has 26 years of health and safety experience, 23 of which have been in manufacturing EHS. He has been working for Lippert since 2010 and has already dramatically improved the company’s safety record in those last ten years.

Eric said: “Although we have had some incredible accomplishments and improvements over the last several years, the momentum does not stop here. We want to continuously strive to do better and fulfil 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.

“Efficiency is the name of the game here, and we have to adopt the mindset that we can. 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 behaviours, 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.”

Ryan Smith, group president of North America, added: “Leading the industry regarding environmental health and safety is the overarching objective. 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.”
