The Future of Manufacturing
peerlessTariffs. Stock prices. Green. Health care. These issues have the potential to cause drastic changes within many manufacturing companies. IndustryWeek details many producer's biggest concerns, best practices, competition, current efforts and what's in store for the future.

Workplace Injuries Drop
Safety Signs
Last week, the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that for the sixth consecutive year, nonfatal injuries in the workplace have declined. This 21% decrease could be attributed to OSHA's strict enforcement of safety programs and regulations.

Can Green Survive??
peerlessJust weeks ago, "going green" was the center of attention throughout many businesses. Now, everything is focused on economics and the election. Andrew Shapiro and David Gottesman discuss what will happen to Green efforts during an economic downturn.

Thank you for taking the time to read the October 2008 edition of the Peerless Probrief! We welcome your comments and questions and hope that you will forward this to anyone that may find the information valuable.
