I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh, or do an interview
Seems we just got started
and before you know it
Comes the time we have
to say, 'So long.'

Thanks everyone for a great three-and-a-half years.  I've learned a lot from my 'power tower' days and appreciate the patience, knowledge and skill that I witnessed at NTPC. 

Until next time.

On any given day at NTPC our workers are lifting and handling various loads and materials.  And, unfortunately, we sometimes see overexertion or repetitive strain injuries take place.  Here's a handy graphic to print off and post in your workplace to help remind people of the ways to protect ourselves when working with loads.  For more information check out Safe Work Practice 1.07: Manual Lifting & Handling.
