We can t always stop what we are doing and gather together in a room every time we need to share something.

1 vember 017 Welcome to the most recent edition of the EHS newsletter. Safety News Risk Control Improvement highlight: CHS Nutrition, Great Falls, MT An issue that we see come up many times is how to get information to our employees in an effective efficient way. We can t always stop what we are doing and gather together in a room every time we need to share something. Sean and Matt at our feedmill in Great Falls recently completed an initiative that helps address this issue. They installed Electronic monitors in key areas of the facilities, such as the warehouse, lunch room scale and control room, that can be used to convey various types of information. Some examples of the types of items that they are displaying are safety messaging, weekly briefs, scheduling information, production numbers, even weather forecast info. w this is not a solution for every location and would certainly fit better in some over others, but it is a great example of coming up with a way to address an issue we all face. Thank you to the team at Great Falls for taking the initiative to increase safety awareness with employees. Page 1 of 10
