record is a testament to the
safety culture and awareness
that every FXI employee takes
seriously. I'm very proud of
our employees. They have
diligently followed proper
procedures, donned personal
protective equipment every time
and are always looking out for
their fellow coworkers. It is a
substantial achievement worthy
of management accolades and
congratulations.”
The year began with the
unveiling of the 2009 Cornelius
Employee Participation Program.

an emphasis on employee training
in safe work practices,
increasing hazard awareness and
reflecting the importance of
safety in their workplace.
Events for the Safety Day
celebration included a dinner,
award presentations, and a
commemorative gift for all
employees.

am able to go out on the
production floor and that it’s
safe to do my job without fear
