FROM THE EDITOR:

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the August REM Resource Engineering & Maintenance e-newsletter. This issue includes interesting findings from the National Energy Board's report, Focus on Safety and Environment: A Comparative Analysis of Pipeline Performance 2000-2007. According to the report, nearly two out of every 100 pipeline workers suffered a serious workplace injury in 2007, almost double the seven-year average. It is the highest worker injury rate since the NEB began reporting on safety performance indicators in 2000. Look below for more information.

Watch for the REM summer issue, which features a special focus on women in the mining industry. Stay tuned for additional coverage on the website as well.

Finally, Maintrain 2009 is fast approaching. The schedule is set for Edmonton, so check out the new Maintrain website at www.maintrain.ca for all the details.

I welcome your comments on what you read here or in the magazine. You can contact me at rcolman@clbmedia.ca.

Regards,

Rob Colman
