Mid Year Social on the Waipa Delta
Friday evening, 22nd June, was a really enjoyable one for the members of the FMD Social Club. We all boarded the “Waipa
Delta” just before 7 pm, got settled in to the cosy and comfortable atmosphere on board and soon we were under way. It didn’t
matter too much to most of us where we were heading as it was too dark to see – we just set about enjoying the occasion. The
evening was a great success because all the ingredients were there – great service by the very friendly crew on board, more than
enough really good food, plenty of cold, refreshing drinks, lots of laughter and banter, music accompaniment that even got some
people dancing. Before we knew it, it was all over - we were back at the dock and it was 10 pm.
Once again a very enjoyable and entertaining event from our Social Club. Well done to the Committee! Keep it up!
Here’s a few pictures taken on the night – more of these are available to FMD staff in the shared drive –

Mark Thompson’s OE: The “deferred” OE trip finally happened!! On the 7th May, I headed to many sites/scenes and
experiences. I am planning to do a slide show in the FMD meeting room for anyone who is interested – will let you know nearer
the time. Here are a just a few of the hundreds of photos I took.

Sellafield Nuclear Power plant. I met a guy that worked there for
many years – to my surprise he had 2 legs, 2 arms and 1 head!

The 2006 annual health and safety report has just come out and from the data
shown on the table, it proved to be a successful year for FMD in terms of
reduced accidents and incidents within our division. As you can see, we have
almost halved the number of events in 2006 with 9 reported, compared to 15
events reported in 2005. WELL DONE FMD!!! These 9 events comprised of 5
accidents and 4 incidents, with the trend tending to be of strains and sprains.
It is also pleasing to note that our Grounds staff got a special mention in the
report for not only being the winners of the 2006 Vice-Chancellor’s Health &
Safety Award but for their speedy repairs made to environmental tripping
hazards around campus, keeping the university grounds a hazard free space.
"Nobody notices what I do, until I don't do it!"

"Whoever said, 'If you do something right the
first time, you won't have to do it again',
obviously never weeded a garden!"
Although FMD had a great year in reducing the number of accidents, there is
still a concern that they are not being reported to our Health and Safety coordinator soon enough or in some cases, not being reported at all. Please
ensure that you fill out an accident/incident form and report to Katria Raffan
within 48hrs of the event occurring. If this is not possible due to time off work,
please make sure that your line manager is aware of the accident and he/she
can report it to Katria on your behalf.
A copy of the complete annual report has been put on the Health and Safety
notice board in the FMD tearoom or you can view it in our FMD shared folder
on Q drive (FMD all/Health & Safety/H&S Reports).
Facilitation will be produced monthly. This publication is available online at http://www.waikato.ac.nz/fmd/
