SAFETY FIRST

24X7 Safety

On Saturday, August 31 there was a tragic motor vehicle accident affecting four of our people from AES Sonel, fatally injuring two people and hospitalizing two others. Although this incident is non-occupational related and occurred outside of work hours, it is an unfortunate reminder of how important safety must be to each of us, both on and off the job.

BEHIND THE MWs

Building our competitve advantage in innovation; AES Innovation Congress set to kickoff September 18

In 2012, we initiated four high impact projects (HIPs) in support of our strategic direction to build our competitive advantages. The HIP called "Innovation-Solutions Deployment" was selected to find an organized way of sharing our learnings from both successful and unsuccessful product, technology and solution implementations. The first worldwide AES Congress on Innovation, Technical Excellence and Sustainable Practices is scheduled will do just that by bringing people together from all levels of our businesses around the world to discuss best practices in place and ideas that can be replicated to drive business performance.

SAFETY IS OUR WAY OF LIFE

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

September is the start of flu season for much of the world. The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year in the fall. Help prevent the spread of the Flu, and other viruses by covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Also wash your hands often and stay home if you are feeling sick.
