Nurses of hazard By LAURA RASKIN, Bennington Banner, VT
'It was a major learning process for me,' said Kobelia of getting the company up to OSHA standards. She has spent most of the last two years in front of her computer, she said. She learned a lot about occupational health through the Internet, and became connected with the Vermont Association of Occupational Health Nurses that way.
'I'm still a novice - finding stuff I need to know and do,' she said.
Health and safety at the mill is key for Kobelia, she said, not least of all because an accident-free work zone keeps workers compensation down for the company.
'We have not had an accident since we bought the mill in 1990,' said Kobelia.
This is a wonderful record compared to the rest of the lumber industry, she said."------------------------------------------- posted 7:34 AM :: reference link ::
