Forearm guards now mandatory at the glass racks
Following a laceration at the Bayswater plant last week, cut-resistant forearm guards are mandatory for anyone racking, de-racking or carrying glass. New guards are in the glass plant office. Please inspect your gloves and guards before each shift and swap any that are cut or worn. Thank you to the worker who reported promptly and to the first aider who responded.

Isocyanate health monitoring and fit testing
All spray booth operators must attend respirator fit testing and health monitoring with the occupational health provider on 24 September in the training room. Bring your respirator. Filter change dates are now recorded on the log in the booth and filters must be replaced on or before the date shown. Nobody sprays two-pack coatings without a current fit test.

Quality objectives: August results
Rework in August was 1.9 percent, call-backs were three, and complaints closed within ten days reached 88 percent. Two safety glass panels were held at final check for missing labels and relabelled before dispatch. Well done to the glass plant for catching them. The September focus is drawer and door alignment at installation.
