Diageo Gimli Safety Day

Time: 08:00 AM

Event Location & Address: 19107 Seagram Road
P.O. Box 2000
Gimli MB R0C 1B0

Hosting Organization: Diageo Global Supply Gimli Distillery

Event Description: The will start off with a healthy breakfast being served, then opening remarks by the plant manager and VP. This is followed by a video from Kevin Bailey our guest speaker whose message is: An Accident hurts Others Than The Injured Party. He drives home the message about the family and friends that are affected by the accident.

This presentation will be followed by the employees being formed into four teams and each team will then go one of the concurrent sessions.

Session one is a Jeopardy game testing the team's knowledge of safety at the site

Session two is a wellness fair; this fair will be held in our on site gym and will include a personal trainer on hand for the proper use of the equipment, a few Public Health Nurses conducting Blood Sugar tests as well as Blood Pressure checks. There will also be a few massage chairs and massage therapists on hand. Also there will be about 20 tables and booths set up for various health displays ranging from the RCMP through to the Pharmacy in the town of Gimli.

Session Three will be a stretch and tone program put on by a Physiotherapist, her session will include about a thirty minute presentation on exercise and the work relationship. Then she will take the participants into the gym and run them through a mini boot camp, as she calls it.

Session four is hands-on fire extinguisher training for all employees and guests. The trainer will run through the ABCs of fire extinguishers and then out to the parking lot for the hands-on part. We will using a propane fire pan loaned to us from the Selkirk Fire Dept. If the weather is bad we will use a device that requires you to use a pressurized water extinguisher and try to move golf ball into a hole buy using the same technique as a fire extinguisher.

Each participant will receive a T-Shirt with 24x0=0 Twenty four hours x zero accidents = zero harm. This Zero Harm idea is our Corporate office in London and they are rolling this out at all site around the globe.

Each employee then will receive a First Aid kit and also have their name entered in a draw to win a Smoker.

Lunch will also be served to all in attendance that day.

This is our first event at this site and already plans are underway to involve the spouses of the employees next year.
