Event Description: We have planned events for every day of NAOSH week. Monday we are kicking it off with a PPE fashion show at lunch time, Tuesday we are having local vendors that sell health and safety related items, come in and set up displays for our employees to get information and talk to the vendors. Also on Tuesday we have MPI coming out with their roll-over machine, which demonstrates what happens in a vehicle rollover if you are not wearing your seat belt, and we are hoping to have the Road Safety pedal go-cart activity running in our parking lot, which shows the affect of drinking and driving. On Wed. we are hosting an information session on Hearing Conservations. This will be open to all businesses in the Steinbach area, they will be invited to send leaders, H&S reps or Safety Committee members. On Thursday we are having SAFETY MAN, one of our group leaders, go around our manufacturing plant and hand out prize draw tickets to employees who are working safe (examples; wearing a hard hat and roping off area when raising a load with a lift truck, wearing the right PPE to work with compressed air), he would explain to them why they were getting the ticket to encourage them to continue to do their job in a safe way. Friday we will be doing prize draws to complete the week. We are putting out safety related crossword puzzles and word searches throughout the week, just for fun and information and are hoping to have the city of Steinbach raise the NAOSH Week flag at the post office on Main Street.

Event Description: Event Descriptions: • The committee wanted to focus on 3 ideas that they felt were important to reinforce to everybody. The 3 ideas have been turned into booths. The 3 ideas or booths are: 1. Food Safety 2. Bike Safety 3. Floor Safety The 3 booths that we have through out the week will be manned or stationed by our Health and Safety Captains or Black Hats (hourly unionized safety representatives). These employees are the ones who have done all of the research on the topics, using our department (Health &Safety) as a resource and for guidance. The booths will be set up for the whole day and will be staffed during the start of our day (06:00 hrs), at lunch time (12:00 hrs) and again at supper (20:00 hrs), and at shift change for sanitation starting (22:30 hrs). They will be staffed for at least half an hour at each specified time. • All hourly pay stubs will have a message on them promoting NAOSH week with the date and this year’s slogan. A reminder of NAOSH week will be put on all pay stubs the week prior. The main message and the slogan will run for the first two weeks of the month. • Employee wellness day – is the whole day being dedicated to the employee’s, their wellness and their benefits. Our goal with the Wellness Awareness day is to provide our employees an opportunity to meet and better understand the various health professionals, services, and clinics available to them. The goal for this was to give them (the employees) a chance to focus on good health, prevention and overall wellness! • A daily informational email - This is being sent out to all salaried staff (170 people) to provide them with some information about NAOSH Week... Did you know facts... This is being sent out starting 10 days before NAOSH Week. Using this tool to educate the supervisors and also provide them with some information as to what the committee has planned for events for the week. A secondary goal that will come from this day has been for health professionals to come and tour our facility and attain a better understanding of the work environment that our employees are performing in. The committee feels that this can have numerous benefits when actually treating and interacting with our employees! Meet and greet will be hosted allowing those that choose to attend the opportunity to set up a display or information area for our employees to visit and ask questions. We will have translators available to help, as well as other support staff as needed.

They have been busy sending letters to the medical community, as well as other services that are covered through the employee’s benefit program. The main reason for this is so that the employee’s know what is covered, but also to it allows people (the medical community) to come out and see some of the jobs that the employee’s do – providing them with a better understanding with the task and jobs that the employee’s here perform. A part of this event a meet and greet and lunch. After that anyone who is participating and wishes can get a tour of facility. After this they are able to set up displays and booth for the employee’s to stop and look at and ask questions. One of the confirmed groups is the Union’s Occupational Health Center out of Winnipeg.

(1st Day of the Conference) Wednesday, May 5, 2010 • Starting with the 2nd booth of the week – Bike safety. The reason behind this booth being chosen is that in the warmer months of the year a lot of our staff relies on their bicycles as a way to getting to work. The plant is located approximately 6 KM from town. The employee’s then need to ride on the road, so educating them on proper bike safety is a key. We have also approached our local police department to come out and help us in educating the employees. Manitoba Public Insurance also has donated flashing reflectors for their bikes to be handed out at the booth. • Plinko board – using safety questions to determine the number of chips that you get to try and win prizes.
