It was an exciting morning for the group
of Area Managers and Site Supervisors as they
gathered January 30th for the first quarterly safety
training meeting of 2010. They all knew that there was plenty
on the agenda to look forward to and that they would all have a
chance to chime in. So, with coffee and doughnuts in hand,
the Cardinal Training Center was opened for business.
We were lucky enough to have John Paul-Surdo of JohnsonDiversey
in our presence that morning for a refreshing take on the updated
Healthy High Performance Cleaning Procedures. After a general
review of the program, which has gotten a great response from both
our customers and employees, John took us on an in-depth look into
the specific HHPC requirements that we will be implementing to our
current customers.

Continuing on with the "Green Theme", President Jim DeGrado
introduced Cardinal's newest member to the family, The Ionator from
Activeion. The updated Activeion product delivers portable,
on-demand, safe and sustainable cleaning by converting tap water
into a powerful cleaner. After a brief training and
demonstration session, the Area Managers and Site Supervisors were
both impressed and excited going forward with this piece of
equipment in their arsenal.

Finally, as a yearly reminder for all Area Managers we reviewed
in detail Cardinal's Employee Training Checklist. This review
is a reminder for all Trainers to pay special attention to the
little things at each building we service, and re-emphasizes the
importance of their initial training process.
