SAFETY TOPIC
By Judy Kerry State Compensation Insurance Fund
Dont Get Distracted (from Safety)
Although some workplace distractions and interruptions are unavoidable, many can be controlled or prevented. No matter what the distraction, your first concern should be to keep your mind and your focus on safety your safety and that of others. Be aware of any distractions you may be causing and take responsibility for not interrupting others. Let your supervisor know about repeated and/or unsafe distractions. Work interruptions are a distraction that can result in work errors or accidents. Before addressing or responding to another person, shut down or disengage any work tool, equipment, or processes. Your job training should include instructions not to interrupt others during a critical job phase or process. Instruction manuals and procedural guidebooks should be kept on site to answer frequently asked questions and thereby eliminate the need to interrupt or distract other workers. External noise from tools, mobile equipment, and processes can be distracting in industrial and construction work environments. In work situations where loud or constant noise is unavoidable, hearing protection devices can eliminate or decrease unwanted and distracting noise. In other work environments even notso-loud sounds can be a distracting annoyance. Constantly ringing phones, conversations, and loud faxes, copiers, and printers can distract workers from their job tasks or -- depending on the level or duration of the noise -- can contribute to workplace stress.
Electronic devices such as cell phones, IPODS, and PDAs can be the source of serious distractions in some work environments. Check with your supervisor to find out if these electronics are allowed where you work. If these devices are approved in your workplace, as a courtesy to your co-workers, make sure you keep your cell phone on a low volume or silent when you work. To maximize work safety and performance, turn email notifications off and disable instant messaging. Dont answer the phone or emails when youre in the middle of a task let it ring to voicemail then check messages later -- preferably on your break time. In some work environments wearing a headset with low volume music can be relaxing to workers and help them to safely focus on their work. However, wearing headphones on a construction or industrial site can be dangerous if it prevents workers from hearing warning signals, mobile equipment backup alarms, and safety instructions. Walking around while talking on the phone or wearing a headset distracts your attention from safety and could result in a slip or fall or cause you to run into or be struck by something or someone.
Some workplace distractions and interruptions are unavoidable but others if not properly controlled or regulated -- could lead to injuries, lost productivity, and a decrease in worker morale.

Golden Rule Warranty Procedures Update

Over the past year ATRA has been reviewing the Golden Rule Procedures that ATRA provides for members use in their shops. With recent testing, there are going to be some significant changes made to the new procedures. The current procedures are setup that when a customer has a problem with their transmission, they call someone, the shop or ATRA, and then they take the car to the closest shop to do the repair work. Many times, this process works without any problems. However, there are occasions when the repairing shop misdiagnosis the problem, or if they do diagnose the problem correctly and the first shop doesnt agree with the diagnosis. Thats when the problems begin. It becomes a difference of opinion and causes problems with the shops while leaving them with a bad impression of the warranty program. With this in mind, a new concept was proposed including the ATRA Technicians during the diagnosis of the vehicle once it arrives at the repairing facility. The majority of the procedures will still remain, however, now with the inclusion of the ATRA technicians youll rest easy that the diagnosis is made in a quick and efficient
manner, by your trusted association professionals. The estimator worksheets will remain part of the new procedure; however ATRA will now be involved with the process to ensure accurate estimates are described for parts and labor. After testing this new process over the past five months, the members that have been part of this new process are very pleased with the results. It takes the unknown out of the equation. Its bad enough when you realize your customer is stranded somewhere but when you can count on ATRA to step in and help out, itll make the problem much easier to deal with and will get your customer back on the road as fast as possible. The new procedures will be announced at the ATRA Member meeting at this years Powertrain Industy Expo. Be sure to stop by the meeting Friday morning at 7:30am for details on the new program.

Transmission Specialties Introduces Steel PG Pump

Transmission Specialties has designed the rst 100% Steel PG Pump. This gives the transmission builder and racer an affordable alternative to aluminum when strength and durability are an issue, especially in high HP applications. The steel PG pump is a three piece modular design including the one piece, bolt-in stator tube which eliminates any chance of a spinning stator tube. The pump gears are oversized and made of hardened solid steel for increased durability. They are 3x times stronger than the powdered steel used in the stock PG pumps. The steel PG pump has been extensively tested and has already been in the winners circle several times in 2008.

Leadership Award in remanufactured transmissions aftermarket. The following factors contribute to Certifieds growth in this market: Technological innovation and leadership Implementation of a unique sales strategy Discovery of new sales avenues for an established product Effective internet strategy Reorganization structured around growth strategy Superior technological innovation is the key to success in the remanufactured engine and transmission aftermarket. Certifieds products adhere to OE specifications, are dynamometer-tested, and are QS9000 compliant. Over the past year, Certified has extended its product warranty from two years/24,000 miles to three years/50,000 miles, demonstrating confidence to stand behind its remanufactured transmissions. Certified was one of the first suppliers to identify the market potential of working with transmission shops. In response to increasing costs and system complexity, many shops are realizing that by having units in inventory rather than rebuilding all units on-site, they can often increase sales and profits by not losing customers when turnaround time is too long or parts and labor costs too high. Certified has successfully targeted its products to this growing segment. The Frost & Sullivan Award for Growth Strategy Leadership is presented each year to the company that has demonstrated an exceptional long-term growth strategy within its industry.

To help you cut your gas expenses, GEARS Senior Editor Steve Bodofsky has just introduced a new book: Slashing Prices at the Pump: a collection of tips and strategies to help you save big by improving your gas mileage.

Some youll be familiar with; others may be a complete surprise to you. Next, Steve presents 10 service items that can pay back big in gas savings. Then he explains 8 common misconceptions about saving gas. Do the tips work? Steve says so and he backs it up with a case study on his own car. He went from 22 MPG to nearly 28 MPG: a savings of over 25%! So if youre serious about saving gas, this is one book youll want everyone in your family to read.
