NSTX Team Meeting Agenda

Safely, Safely, Safely

To all, I have just been informed that the Laboratory has earned the following safety awards from the State of New Jersey for performance in 2004:1. PPPL : Recognition Award for having a low rate of away-from-work lost time injury/illness cases.2. Maintenance & Operations Division: Citation of Merit Award for having no away-from-work lost time injury/illness cases.

3. NSTX Project - Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development Continued Excellence Award for having gone 4 consecutive years without an away from work lost time injury/illness case.

These awards will be presented at an upcoming Governor’s Occupational Safety and Health Awards Program Area dinner. Congratulations! (Jerry Levine)
