Company Sets Safety Mark

Employees at the Coca Cola facility in Chatham are celebrating a mile-stone having gone 1,000 days without a lost time workplace injury.

Tony Caradonna is the manager of the facility which prepares, repairs and rebuilds the company's vending machines, says the record takes a total commitment from both the company and employees.

"A lot of hard work a lot of training, having the proper tools for the employees, having the proper training are the two main things," he says. "It definitely is a worthwhile investment, not only from a financial standpoint, it's good for morale good for relations, employee relations, customer relations."

The company has 33 employees working at the centre on the vending machines and another 16 sales people working from the Park Ave. facility.
