Safety first! (L-R) Geraldine Kennedy, environmental officer, and Kevin Kane, safety officer, clean up a spill in the Biotechnology Building; an unidentified worker, properly suited up for the job, begins the asbestos remediation abatement process in the former Thomson Student Centre. Over the next year the centre will be transformed into the INCO Innovation Centre.

This issue of The Communicator highlights the importance of maintaining a high standard of occupational health and safety. Memorial University, like other large organizations, has staff dedicated to ensuring that the workplace is a healthy and safe place to work. In addition, the university is currently trying to improve a computerized management system which will help all employees build a culture of safety on the campus. In keeping with this idea of highlighting issues of concern to employees, upcoming issues of The Communicator will focus on such issues as wellness, benefits, pensions, and training, among others.
