In 2004, the City wanted to expand the Fair to reach out to all residents to create a greater <br /> awareness of safe practices and procedures, in our homes, on ourjobs, and in our community. There will be <br /> over 30 booths representing agencies and organizations that address safety and security issues, speakers <br /> and hands-on demonstrations, something of interest for every age group. <br /> "The goal of the City of South Bend's Safety & Risk Management Division is to provide an increased level of <br /> safety awareness throughout all City departments and the community", according to Sharon McBride, Safety <br /> & Risk Manager. In 2004, city employee injury claims and worker's compensation were reduced. A Disaster <br /> Recovery Plan has been developed for our community, and safety training for city employees continues to <br /> be a top priority for City departments. <br /> Contact: Mikki Dobski, Director of Communications &Special Projects, 235-5855 or 876-1564 <br /> Back I City Home Page I City Directory I Site Map I Search Go <br /> powered by FreeFind <br /> http://www.ci.south-bend.in.us/Press/Releases 2005/100705 safety.htm 1/13/2006 <br />
