Congratulations to Greg Furgus, Health and Safety Manager for Moosehead Breweries, on winning the prize draw at the EMC booth. I appreciate that Greg was able to spend a few minutes with me and also allowed me to take a picture of him and his friend for this article

Although many may be the familiar with the product that Moosehead produces, i doubt so many are familiar with the fascinating history of the organization.

As Canada's oldest independant brewery, established in 1867 and spanning six generations, theirs is quite a story.

I would encourage you to take a couple of minutes to explore by following this link....enjoy!  http://moosehead.ca/timeline/

 As well, at its Company Recognition Awards Breakfast, WorkSafeNB recognized DEW Engineering and Development, and the Canadian Red Cross for their impressive efforts in improving workplace health and safety. The breakfast was part of WorkSafeNB's 30th Annual Health and Safety Conference, held in Moncton October 17-19.

 Located in Miramichi, DEW Engineering manufactures armoured systems for military vehicles used overseas. DEW engineers have designed, tested, manufactured and installed thousands of armoured systems that have protected our soldiers in theatres such as the former Yugoslavia, Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq. Initially, the company dealt with a troubling number of lost-time claims resulting from soft tissue injuries, due to the strenuous physical nature of the job. But after adopting WorkSafeNB 5*22 program, DEW managed to reduce its lost-time frequency by 89% and managed to cut its no-lost claims in half.

Our congratulation to all the folks at dew for their accomplishments and to WorksafeNB for a successful conference event!
