Together... Part of Something Great
Remember. Safety isn't a guarantee. It is something we have to work hard to obtain - Kathy Kozlow
The Health and Safety Committee is working closely with Kathy West trying to get to our VPP goal as a star site. We have begun our USW audits which we will do once a month. We are trying to get approval to do a two hour title 8 training for all shifts and maintenance personnel. With that we will have a bigger pool to pull from for our monthly audit. Some time down the road we will be integrating into the audit teams that the company has. At this time we're asking for volunteers.

Angel Trees
Unwrapped Gifts Due Dec 11
Angel trees are located at Admin. Bldg., Warehouse, Maintenance Planning, Control Center/Coker Common, and CP Admin. Bldg. The trees had a total of 75 Angels. These Angels are children that have been screened by the Salvation Army and are truly in need. In most cases the only gifts they will receive are the ones that you purchase. The Salvation Army has over 700 children this year!
ALL GIFTS MUST BE UNWRAPPED!!!
Union Meetings are held at 5:15 the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays.
