“We’re here because we know that
cancer is too big a disease to ignore.
It affects everyone, maybe
you, me, our parents, kids, siblings
or friends. Sadly, maybe all
of the above. But by riding in this
event, we are doing something
about it. We’re rolling closer and
closer to the end of cancer. It’s an
awesome triumph in a physical
sense and emotionally as well.”

As one of the largest manufacturers
of pipe fittings, and pipe
hangers and supports in the
world, Anvil’s products have been
installed in a variety of applications.
The company’s ability to
provide integrated solutions directed
at individual markets is said
to be unmatched in the industry.
“Our 150 years of experience
and understanding enables us to
meet your exacting requirements,
ensuring you have the most appropriate
product for your particular
application,” said Dan
Milroy, national business development
/ marketing manager of
Anvil International Canada.
CONNECTING WITH CUSTOMERS
The most important connections
that Anvil makes are the
ones it has made with the end user
customer. With over 3000 employees
worldwide, the company
provides its customers with the
products, assistance and service
they need – in the field, over the
phone or on the Internet. And,
with one of the broadest product
portfolios, the company is able to
fill most customer needs in a single
shipment.
As an additional benefit to customers,
Anvil provides Design
Services. Company experts will
meet with clients on-site to
analyze and determine the most
effective and cost-efficient piping
solutions for a project. According
to Milroy, responsive and accessible
customer support is what
makes the difference between simply
delivering products – and delivering
solutions.
CONNECTING WITH CORE MARKETS
From plumbing, mechanical,
industrial and fire protection to
mining, and oil and gas, Anvil’s
focus has always been on providing
real solutions for customer
applications. Milroy said that the
company’s representatives are “experts
in the markets they serve
and understand the needs of their
customers’ businesses.” Anvil representatives
will work with customers
to find innovative products
that meet the demands of the
installation and exceed customer
expectations.
CONNECTING WITH
QUALITY PRODUCTS
Many things have changed
over the company’s 150 years in
the industry, but quality and commitment
remain one of the best
in the business. The company’s
ISO 9001:2000 manufacturing facilities
produce a range of products
said to be unmatched by
other manufacturers. Companyspecific
quality initiatives ensure
each product meets industry
standards.
“Anvil’s responsive service sets
an industry standard for dependability
and effectiveness recognized
around the world,” Milroy
said. “Quality is important to a
business and Anvil guarantees it
in everything they do.”
The company’s product line
includes malleable and cast iron
threaded fittings, cast iron and
ductile iron threaded fittings, engineered
hangers, staple hangers,
supports and struts, seamless pipe
nipples, welded pipe nipples, steel
pipe nipples, steep pipe couplings,
forged steel fittings and small steel
fittings, couplings, fittings and
valves, grooved couplings, fittings
and flanges, Tee® Lets and drop
nipples, O’Lets and drop nipples,
O’Lets, swage nipples and bull
plugs, wing unions and check
valves.
CONNECTING WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT
Recent trends reveal that the
interest in and demand for green
building designs, materials and
products has greatly increased –
and will only continue to do so
in the coming years. Because a
concern for the environment is a
strong part of the company’s
legacy, Anvil is a proud member
of the Canada Green Building
Council (CaGBC) and understands
the growing focus on sustainable
buildings.
The CaGBC promotes the design
and construction of environmentally
sustainable buildings in
Canada. The council is made up
of representatives from the design
and building industry that set
standards and offer guidance for
the creation of green buildings.
(For more information, visit
www.cagbc.org).
Anvil can help building owners
achieve points toward LEED
certification with an extensive selection
of products made from up
to 90 per cent recycled materials.
The company’s recycled products
include: Gruvlok couplings, fittings
and flanges; Anvil cast and
malleable threaded fittings; Anvil
cast iron flanged fittings, and Anvil
pipe hangers and supports.

benefit your company and
the community for many years to
come.”
CONNECTING WITH WHOLESALERS
The wholesale distribution
channel has always been a key to
Anvil’s business success. The company’s
dedication to wholesalers
– its customers – is the driving
force for the company’s services.
These relationships remain a primary
focus of Anvil’s innovation.
The company provides valueadded
services to help its customers
maintain efficiency. Distribution
is swift and reliable through
its regional service centres located

FOCUS ON SAFETY
Winter Hazards
Simple Steps To Keep
Workers Productive
During Winter Months
Carbon Monoxide
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a clear, colourless
gas that has no odor or taste. Workers need a
gas detector to warn of the hazard.
• CO interferes with the body’s ability to use
oxygen and can potentially kill an individual. The
first signs of CO poisoning are headache and fatigue.
• The major source in construction is engine
exhaust. Gasoline, propane and diesel engines all
release CO. Heater exhaust contains CO and some
types of welding may also produce it.
• When CO is produced in an area without
adequate ventilation, a worker’s life is in danger.
• Operate engines outdoors when possible.
For example, welding machines and generators
can be left outside – the leads can run into the
building.
• When engines must be operated indoors,
- Choose electric rather than fuel-powered
equipment.
- Make sure the area is well-ventilated. Keep
doors and windows open. Use fans to bring in
fresh air. Vent exhaust outside.
- Limit running time and don’t let engines idle.
- Monitor CO levels regularly with a gas detector.
- If your controls are inadequate, use respiratory
protection (supplied-air respirator).
• When operating heavy equipment outside,
open windows occasionally for fresh air.
• Check propane vehicle-cab heaters for leaks
and proper venting.
Ice and Snow
• Clean ice and snow from access areas and
work platforms. Make sure that stairs, ladders and
scaffold planks are clear.
• Use sand, salt or other de-icing material to
prevent slips and falls. Simply turning icy planks
over may not be enough. Ice often forms on the
underside of planks and other platform materials.
• Watch your footing. Steel beams, decks and
platforms may be clear in sunny areas but icy in
the shade. The same goes for plywood decks.
• Remove icicles, especially when the temperature
starts to warm up. If icicles can’t be removed,
rope off the area below them and put up
warning signs.
• Clear frost and snow completely from all
windows, mirrors and lights on vehicles and
heavy equipment.
• When possible, keep your arms free to cushion
a fall.
• When setting up signs and barriers for traffic
control, allow extra distance so that motorists
can spot warning signs and slow down or
stop in time. Visibility and braking distance can
be greatly reduced in winter.
Cold Stress
Cold Stress includes frostbite (your flesh
freezes) and hypothermia (your core body temperature
drops). Here are some ways to prevent
cold stress:
- Wear several layers of clothing instead of one
thick layer.
- Wear gloves, as well as head coverings that
accommodate a hard hat.
- Wear thick socks, or at least two thin pairs
of socks.
- If you get hot while working, open your
jacket but keep your hat and gloves on.

M
Major financial institutions
have
downgraded their
2008 Ontario
GDP growth forecasts
for the fifth straight quarter.
The average 2008 GDP growth
forecast for Ontario has fallen to
2.0 per cent, from the 2.5 per cent
forecast three months prior.
The recent upward pressure on
the Canadian dollar, which according
to CIBC is already
“hyper-elevated,” slowing U.S.
growth, intensification of foreign
competition, and continued
strength in oil and other commodity
prices are the main factors contributing
to a seemingly incessant
descent in recent forecasts.
With every passing quarter
Ontario is drifting farther away
from its traditional manufacturing
base. The auto sector, representing
40 per cent of Ontario’s manufacturing
output, is under intense
pressure to redesign poor selling
models and restructure production,
resulting in cuts to production
lines and the jobs needed to
run them.
Manufacturers, in general, are
squeezed tighter and tighter by the
simultaneous fall in U.S. demand
and value of the U.S. dollar. According
to recent posturing by the
Bank of Canada, it is not certain
whether or not any relief is on the
horizon, as keeping the national
rate of inflation in check remains
the Bank of Canada’s primary
concern. October’s inflation numbers,
released late last year, were
closely analyzed by the Bank of
Canada ahead of its Dec. 4, 2007
meeting. The core rate of inflation
With every passing
quarter Ontario is
drifting farther away
from its traditional
manufacturing base.
(inflation excluding the eight most
volatile components) has declined
for the last four months to come
in at 1.8 per cent in October,
while total inflation eased slightly
on lower automobile prices to 2.4
per cent.
Despite the decrease in U.S.
demand, high energy and commodity
prices, the sky-high Canadian
dollar and the consequential
plight of Ontario’s manufacturers,
the overall Ontario economy
has managed to maintain modest
growth due to resiliently strong
growth in the services and construction
sectors.
Since 2004, the construction
sector recorded a 15 per cent
growth in output, 64 per cent
greater than that of the total
economy which grew at only nine
per cent over the same period.
Although the construction sector
only represents about five per cent
of Ontario’s total annual GDP,
the industry has a powerful multiplier
effect because of its large
domestic material content, high
labour intensity and service sector
spillovers. Over the same period,
the service sector grew at
about 13 per cent.
The Ontario economy is not
expected to experience an increase
in growth above the two per cent
mark until at least 2009, at which
point many forecasts predict the
U.S. economy to re-accelerate,
currency pressures to ease and
new auto sector investment to go
into production.

ECONOMIC UPDATE
Rise in Building Costs
Helps Propel Nine Month
Building Permit Values
to New All Time Record
ICI building permit values for the first nine
months of 2007 totalled over $8.4 billion, surpassing
the $7 billion 1989 peak for the first time.
The year started with one of the single biggest
first quarters on record, topping $2.5 billion, up
52 per cent over the first quarter of 2006. The
gains were maintained through the second and
third quarters of 2007 resulting in a 29 per cent
increase over the first nine months of the year.
All three sectors registered significant increases
however, the industrial sector recorded the most
striking gain of 45 per cent over the same period
in 2006. Institutional and commercial permits,
also up significantly, recorded gains of 38 and 20
per cent, respectively.
Commercial permit values totalled over $4.2
billion, with office buildings being the largest
component of the commercial sector, totalling
over $1.5 billion. Within the Industrial sector, in
which permits totalled almost $2.2 billion, plants
and factories were the largest category of growth,
valuing just over $2.1 billion. Institutional permits
totalled just under $2.2 billion over the same
period, led by hospital building intentions of $915
million.
Although there is no doubt we are in the
midst of boom in non-residential construction,
much of the growth in permit values may be
attributed to a surge in the cost of building.
Statistic Canada’s non-residential building price
index for seven metropolitan areas across
Canada, has grown 41 per cent since 2000, and
16 per cent alone since the start of 2006. The
29 per cent increase in non-residential building
intentions this year is quite dramatic, however
if we correct for the non-residential building
price inflation, 2007 permit values would
be at about the same level as they were in 2003.
ICI permit values for the first three quarters
of 2007 were up in every region in the
province except Eastern Ontario, where a 62
per cent drop in the value of institutional permit
values offset strong gains in the industrial
and commercial sectors.
In Northern Ontario Institutional permit values
were up 1.9 per cent due primarily to large

permits were also up 55 per cent relative
to the same period last year. However, at only
$68 million, the sector had little impact on total
permit values of $320 million, an increase of 11
per cent over the first half of 2006.
GTA permit values registered at just over $3.7

nomic growth forecasts have been
downgraded for the fifth consecutive
quarter and that any
projections for an upswing
have been pushed further and
further into the future may
leave many manufacturers
with the sense that the dim
light at the end of the tunnel
is in fact the headlights of the resource
economy freight train
coming right at them. However,
a number of remaining sectors
including construction are poised
to experience continued growth
and inevitably Ontario’s
economy will see the other side
of the super “Canadian dollar tunnel”.
The question is how long
will it take and what will be the
structure of Ontario’s economy
on the other side?

growth of GTA building intentions.
Low office space vacancies
continue to spur on plans
for large office towers projects
in the downtown core. However,
it is predicted that once
these projects are completed
over the next few years, the additional
office space put in
place should balance out the
market.
Although GTA industrial
building intentions jumped to
an early 38 per cent gain over
the first half of last year, a sharp
decline over the third quarter
resulted in an 11 per cent overall
decline for the nine month
period. After significant declines
over 2005 and 2006, institutional
permit values look
like they might rebound this
year, as they posted a sharp 49
per cent rise over the first three
quarters of 2006 to just over
$816 million.
Central Ontario permit values
increased evenly in all three
ICI components to total just
over $2.1 billion in the first
nine months of 2007, up 50 per
cent over the same period in
2006. Commercial permit values,
at $988 million – were the
single largest ICI component,
increasing 43 per cent over the
same period in 2006. The increase
in commercial permit
values was concentrated in the
Hamilton area, where there
was a 16 per cent increase over
the same nine month period in
2006. This increase follows
two consecutive declines in the
region in both 2005 and 2006.
Strong building intentions
in the auto and energy
sectors propelled Southwestern
Ontario’s industrial permit
growth up 37 per cent to
$373 million over the first
nine months of 2006.
Growth in industrial permits
was concentrated in the London
and Stratford-Bruce regions,
in which industrial
permit values increased 266
per cent and 130 per cent respectively.
Windsor-Sarnia
witnessed declines in both
industrial (down 17 per cent)
and commercial (down 22
per cent) permit values,
while institutional permits
totalled a healthy $115 million,
a growth of 2.5 per cent
over the same nine month
period in 2006. As a whole,
Southwestern Ontario ICI
permit values recorded gains in
all three ICI sectors and grew
by 26 per cent overall to just
over $881 million over the first
nine months of last year.

Welding Hazards Include MSDs
Welding presents workers with
a number of hazards. The most
common include:
• Metal fumes.
• Welding arc light (both
visible light and invisible
ultraviolet light).
• Particles getting in
your eyes.
• Burns.
• Noise.
• Cuts and bruises.
Welding also comes with the
risk of musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs). It can be a physically demanding
job. Welding can involve
precision work in awkward, confined
or tight locations. These
conditions can lead to MSDs such
as back, shoulder, neck or knee
problems.
One study found that 50 per
cent of the welders studied were
absent at least one day in two
years due to MSDs. This accounted
for 44 per cent of all lost
work days. Other studies have
found that more than 75 per cent
of welders reported shoulder or
neck symptoms in the past year –
more than double the per cent of
the general population reporting
such symptoms.
Most studies found that the
main contributing factors to the
MSDs come from the conditions
of welding work:
• Awkward postures such as
squatting, kneeling or stooping;
• Lifting heavy equipment or
materials;
• Holding a bent neck position
or keeping your shoulders
raised from a long time;
• Supporting the heavy
weight of the hard hat and welding
mask with the neck.
More than half of the injuries
to welders involve the back, neck,
shoulders, arms and hands. Your
workplace should focus on preventing
injuries to these regions.
REDUCING MSD RISK
You can prevent MSDs associated
with welding. Your focus
should be on reducing or eliminating:
• Forceful exertion which
may come as part of your welding
work (e.g. heavy lifting).
• Awkward postures, including
body positions where you
don’t move for a long time.
REDUCING EXERTION
To reduce forceful exertion,
consider the following:
• Use auto-darkening lenses.
They darken as soon as the arc is
struck. They eliminate the need
to keep opening and snappingclosed
your helmet, reducing neck
strain.
• Choose flexible cable.
• Use mechanical lifting
equipment whenever you can,
Use a work bench instead of standing over material on
the ground. Continued On Page 9
This welder should be working from a stable work platform, such as a scissor lift, set up at a convenient height. This posture can lead to a musculoskeletal disorder.

You Can Be Fined –
Even If No One Gets Hurt
If a Ministry of Labour inspector sees something
on your jobsite that contravenes the Occupational
Health and Safety Act, you can be fined
whether or not that contravention results in
an injury. The Ministry fines workers and supervisors
as well as employers and constructors.
Here are a few examples. The hazards that
provoked these fines were discovered during
routine inspections or during an investigation.
In May 2006, several workers on a multi-residential
project found to be exposed to a fall hazard
of approximately six metres (20 feet) without
any fall protection. The constructor was fined
$12,500.
The same thing happened on an ICI project in
July 2006. Several workers were exposed to a fall
hazard of approximately six metres (20 feet) with
no fall protection. This time the constructor was
fined $18,500.
In November 2006, a constructor was fined
$10,000 because workers were exposed to a fall
hazard on a scaffold platform. There wasn’t a
proper guardrail system on the scaffold.
As a final example, a worker was carrying out
electrical work on a multi-residential project without
proof of the necessary qualifications. The
worker was fined $195 for not being compliant
with the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship
Act (TQAA).

An employer was fined
$165,000 after workers were overcome
by carbon monoxide gas in
a subway tunnel.
A crew, consisting of seven
workers and a foreman, was removing
man-made mineral-fibre
material to permit access to the
concrete for repair. Some of their
equipment was on a flatbed subway

A few hours after the work
started, the foreman notified transit
control that workers had collapsed.
A few minutes after the
foreman’s initial call, fire services
were notified of the situation and
arrived at the scene with emergency
medical services. The workers
were rescued and brought out
of the tunnel.

particularly when loading or unloading
material.
• Choose welding sets which
have comfortable, well-positioned
handles. Consider how any protruding
controls or vents can
make it more difficult to carry.
When choosing a large welding
set, choose one that you can push
or pull comfortably over uneven
surfaces.
• Use height-adjustable mobile
lift tables for transporting material
into the workshop. These
tables can also be used to support
material when you’re loading
machines. A smaller table can be
used for smaller sheets of metal or
small machines such as a punch
press. The larger table can be used
for the “break and bending
presses” as well as incoming materials.
• Pre-assembly and material
handling equipment helps reduce
unnecessary lifting.
• When you have to lift, ask
someone to help you.
REDUCING AWKWARD POSTURES
To reduce awkward postures,
consider the following:
• Position the work at a height
between your waist and your
shoulder.
• Using lifting and turning tables
with wheels.
• Use welding guns which
have swivels and can be used in
either hand.
• Sit on a work stool when the
work is low.
• Use a work table or work
bench instead of bending over to
work on the ground.
• Use a rotating clamp for
pipe.
• Put your welding leads on
pulleys.
• Take stretch breaks throughout
the day to relive discomfort
and get the muscles moving.

Employees
on Web 2.0:
Risks, Costs and
What Employers Can Do
WWeb 2.0 favourites
such as MySpace,
Facebook,
Wikipedia and
web logs (or
“blogs”) have revolutionized the
way people use the Internet. They
have also cost companies hundreds
of millions of dollars in productivity
and raised the stakes in
managing trade secrets and confidential
information. They
have even resulted in terminations
and law suits in Canada
and the United States.
Most notably, the Web 2.0
phenomenon has caused a paradigm
shift in the multi-billion
dollar world of advertising.
Brand names and images can
now be tarnished by employees
for all the world to see.
“The law of Web 2.0 in the
workplace is the latest example
of how the law can lag behind
technology,” said Mary
Gleason, partner in Ogilvy
Renault’s Employment and Labour
Group. “Decisions are
only starting to emerge. This
makes many employers anxious
– indications are that Web 2.0 is
fast becoming a new legal battleground
for employers and employees.”
One of the biggest challenges
employers face is dealing with
employees’ off-duty use of Web
2.0. What can an employer do
when an employee posts critical
comments about their company
on their own time and personal
computer? Indications are that
employers may have cause of discipline
if the information is:
• Confidential;
• Defamatory of the company
or a co-worker;
• Constitutes harassment of a
co-worker;
• Insubordinate, insolent or
breaches an employee’s obligation
of loyalty and fidelity;
• Damaging to the company’s
reputation.
“Employers can protect themselves
against Web 2.0 misuse in
several ways,” Gleason said. “Installing
‘blocker’ software on
workplace computers is a good
start. So is informing employees
that Web 2.0 posts can affect the
company and their careers. Employers
can also implement written
policies and learn the legitimate
grounds for discipline for
Web 2.0 misuse.”
Looking forward, Gleason suspects
that Web 2.0 employment
law will begin to reflect the attitudes
of today’s younger generation
that will grow up with the
technology. This might create a
new set of challenges for employers.

concentrations that were 40
times the current eight-hour
average occupational exposure
limit, which is 25 ppm, and 10
times the short-term exposure
limit, which is 100 ppm.
