WORKSTATIONS, SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES

no-cost, value-added audit program to all Telcordia organizations to:
+ improve productivity and minimize injuries and absences
+ identify potentially significant energy-savings opportunities
+ ergonomically review workstations & recommend minimal or no-cost
steps to improve productivity and cut losses and absences

new environmental initiatives
EH&S's free, non-binding value-added audits are available to all NJ

these audits as time permits (staffing is limited), and will provide
participating organizations with full reports and recommendations, along
