welcome to volunteer. I also want to thank Meijer's for donating $1000.00 to the
cause.
• Please be aware of any slip, trip or fall hazards in the parking lot. This is the
number accident in the entire Ford system. During the winter months in the past
we have had employees fall in the parking lots due to ice. The company cleans
the lots but there is always the potential to have slick spots. If you see any that
need to be addressed please notify your supervisor or committeeperson. This
awareness carries over to inside the plant also. We have had several slips
recently on stairs in the plant. Please be aware of your surroundings.
