Safety is essential in the Kentucky warehouse. Being properly trained and taking an active stand to keep the environment safe keeps yourself and your co-workers safe. Ultimately being safe keeps everyone happy because they are pain and worry free.

The safety team recently had a Safety Poster contest to spread the word of all the important safety efforts we should all perform and remember! A lot of people put their creative side out there, but there can only be one winner! Congratulations to Susan M. of A shift Receiving for winning the contest! She won a dual Family Membership to the Louisville Zoo and the Louisville Science Center! That is so awesome! Below is her award winning poster, and check out the video of all the other posters that were submitted. We had some great posters this year! Thanks to everyone who participated!

THE WINNER!

Oops, I mean "Safety" Olympics.

Here at the Zappos FC, we've been celebrating National Safety Month with various activities including Safety BINGO, the "HOOP"LA basketball challenge and the great Safety Olympics.

What exactly is this you may ask? Well, it's a timed obstacle course testing the knowledge of cart safety, proper lifting techniques, incident reporting procedures, and blade safety. In an effort to build a positive team and family spirit (CV#7), on a beautiful Wednesday evening, we went to cheer on and witness our fellow team members accomplish greatness! Finishing with a time of 3:26, Angela, Theresa, Kaya, Naomi and Lacy represented us loud and proud! Great job you all!!



P.S. The Bejing 2008 Olympic Games begins August 8th and ends the 24th!

Meet Lisa everyone! She is one of our wonderful Seniors in the Images department! Lisa's pretty awesome, and I thought everyone else should know a little bit about this Indiana Jones loving, safety team lady! Being on the safety team here in KY, she is always representing the HOOPLA! She knows her CPR and is always going to meetings and keeping us informed on all the safety rules, and new and fun activities for us to do!

Here is some random questions I asked Lisa so we could know a little more about her:

Favorite Movie: there are tons...Super Troopers is one that I can watch all day, and never feel like its too much.

What do you do on the Safety Team: I get information about things going on in the warehouse and I try to keep my team informed. Just try to keep everyone aware.

Best Pick up Line: A friend of mine used this on some girls "How much does a Polar Bear weigh?... Enough to break the ice, Hi my name is..." and One I heard on the radio, its lame but I laugh. " I'm glad I brought my Library card cause I'm checking you out."

Dumbest thing ever seen: WOW, umm... lets see, when my friend used that lame pick up line about the Polar Bear. It was at a crappy haunted house thing, so can that make it even worse? And Steven Seagal's singing.

Whats the strangest thing: just look around on the Internet, you will find all kinds of gems. Like the Universe, Its strange, unknown, but amazing.

Coolest thing in the world: the Internet, and my Indiana Jones hat.

You may have seen Lisa in Vegas back in March... Here she is -with her mustache! All great men.. and women, have mustaches!
