<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Over the past couple years, ABARTA has put a lot of energy behind the Safe Start Safety Program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Virtually every employee has been trained under this program during this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">On September 19<sup>th</sup>, 2013 Shared Financial Services held its annual PIT Rally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As part of the rally, a meeting was led by the Monkey Business Team, our grass roots innovation team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The topic discussed was “Safety in the New Building.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we were settled into the new building, it was thought to be a good time to review the safety features, as well as any potential safety hazards or safety tips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The meeting started with a viewing of a “Safety in The Office”video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was rather interesting and brought many laughs to the meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The video reminded the group of important office safety hazards to watch out for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The video was followed up with a few safety trivia facts on the new building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Included was information on the number of fire extinguishers, location of first aid kit and speed limits posted on the driveway and parking lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The group then divided into teams and participated in a brainstorming session on Safety tips, hazards and safety suggestions for the new building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new ideas are being filtered and many will move forward for implementation to make our new building an even safer place for all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">We ended the meeting with a safety scavenger hunt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The groups had to hunt for red paper clips that were attached to different safety items in the building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with having team building time, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this activity brought fun into the day and got everyone acquainted with the building safety features.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The meeting was both educational, by getting each person familiar with the new facility; and generated a lot of good ideas for improving safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event was a way of taking the basics we learned from Safe Start and building upon them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The meeting was followed by a group event at PNC Park, where our work group attended a Pittsburgh Pirate baseball game. The day was a good combination of fun and getting some great results on the topic of Safety.</span><br />
