Bobcat to Celebrate 50 Years
Bobcat
UNLEASH A
BETTER WAY.
CoExpo 2008 March 11-15 in La
OVERVIEW
50 YEARS
As Bobcat marks 50 years of equipment innovation, the company still seeks input from customers through the How Bobcat Unleashed Me contest. In 2008, Bobcat will commemorate the partnership between Melroe Manufacturing and the Keller brothers that created the company. The contest asks users to share how Bobcat equipment has helped them in performing work better, smarter and faster. To enter, equipment users need to write a brief essay about their experiences with Bobcat equipment and fill out an entry form at the Bobcat 50 Years Unleashed Web site, www.bobcat.com/50. The grand-prize winner will receive a $75,000 Bobcat gift certificate, good for products or attachments of his choice at a designated Bobcat dealership in North America. IMAS
CDC Simple Solutions
Ergonomics for Construction Workers
DIOSH
In 2005, construction employers reported 35,900 work-related musculoskeletal disorders that resulted in one or more days away from work for injured employees. Available data indicate that such injuries are disproportionately high in construction, compared with the average for all industries. The simple solutions in the NIOSH publication are organized according to the types of construction work in which physical demands can pose risks for musculoskeletal injuries floor and ground-level work; overhead work; lifting, holding, and handling materials, and hand-intensive work. In each category, individual tip sheets describe practical interventions for specific work activities or equipment, such as power-assisted rebar tiers, spring- and power-assisted drywall finishing systems, vacuum lifters and powered caulking guns. The guide is available on the Web at www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2007-122/.
