FALL/WINTER 2011

Working hard to consistently raise the bar and create a culture of safety, T&B's Iberville employees were honored recently for their innovation by the Commission de la Santé et de la Sécurité au Travail (CSST). CSST is the Canadian equivalent to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the U.S.

"Safety is a number one priority in our facility," said Mike Shenouda, director of operations for T&B's facility in Iberville, Canada. "We embrace safety as a culture, because a safe work environment is always a team effort. I commend our employees for the critical role they play in sustaining a safe work environment."

CSST recognized the Iberville employees for the development of a new rotating template for drilling connectors used in meter sockets which keeps the operator's fingers and hands at a safe distance when operating the machine, thus eliminating possible injury. Previously, there was a high risk of injury to the fingers or hands when using the drill.

The CSST Innovation Award acknowledges and rewards initiatives from employers and employees that prevent accidents in their workplace.

The Iberville facility manufactures Microelectric® meter sockets, T&B® cable tray, Superstrut® and Joslyn Hi-Voltage® products and employs approximately 162 people.
