POND PICK UP AT THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER

By Kim Bogucki, Shipping

The GOJO Distribution Center, Lippman
Campus has a pond that is home to many
animals, including ducks, geese, turtles,
fish, and even some snakes. The DC
pond is accompanied by a great walking
trail for you to connect with nature and
relax a bit!
With safety in mind, on May 7, 2018, the
Lippman Campus Distribution Center
“Housekeeping Team” played an
important role for our GOJO pond walkers
and animals. Not only did they fix the loose rocks on the pathways down to the
trail area, but they also collected five bags of trash, including pieces of plastic
that could have caused a choking hazard for the animals that live at the pond. If
you’re ever at the DC, stop by and take a leisurely stroll around the pond.

Thank you to the DC Housekeeping Team for their dedication to maintaining a
clean and safe environment—for both our GOJO team members and the
animals that habitat around and in the pond. DC Housekeeping Team members
include: Chris Arao, Angela Arrendale, Kim Bogucki, Megan Booth, Liz Cowher,
Rob Emens, James Forsyth, Jan Garvin, Bonnie Miller, Teresa Moneypenny,
and Krista Shaffer.

PARKING LOTS—RISKIER THAN YOU THINK

By Beth Beddow, Learning & Development

According to the National Safety Council, more than 50,000 crashes occur in parking lots and garage
structures annually, resulting in more than 60,000 injuries. No matter what GOJO Campus you
typically work at, or where you might be visiting, parking lot safety should always be top of mind.
Parking lot safety is more than driving slowly and obeying the posted speed limits. Here are some
safety tips for all drivers:
• Obey posted speed limits. Did you know the speed limit in the parking lot at GOJO Lippman
Campus (Manufacturing and Distribution Centers), the GOJO Plaza parking deck, and the GOJO
Wooster Campus parking lot is 10 miles per hour?
• Obey posted directional instructions. This includes driving the appropriate direction in one-way
parking lots, such as those at GOJO Lippman Campus and GOJO Plaza.
• Stay in lanes and avoid cutting across parking spaces or the lot.
• Drive slowly and use directional signals.
• Anticipate the actions of other drivers.
• Obey stop signs and no-parking signs.
• Avoid any form of cell phone usage while driving.
• When backing out, be mindful of vehicles and pedestrians.
• Be mindful of shift start and end times, and give yourself extra time.
• Ensure visibility by removing ice or debris from your windshield before getting in the car. 11
