Windsor Assembly Plant
Keep Healthy – Know Your Numbers
Blood pressure screening was available at the Know Stroke health and wellness fairs. The fairs were held on various
dates and locations across the plant. A total of 288 employees participated by having their blood pressure measured.
Nurses, as well as nursing students, were on-hand to discuss the importance of modifying personal risk factors to
keep healthy and answer any questions. Kudos to all employees who were screened!
You’re the Type…to Donate
WAP collaborated with Canadian Blood Services (CBS) to recruit local blood donors for the Partners for Life program.
Employees were invited to join the Chrysler Canada Inc./CAW - Windsor Assembly Plant “team” in its commitment to
donate blood and save lives. Employees and family members can still join this program. If you have questions about
your eligibility to donate, please contact CBS at 1-888-236-6283.
WAP’s goal is to donate 160 units of blood, which could help treat 32 cancer patients undergoing treatment, before the
end of 2012. To help achieve this goal, WAP management is allowing employees (after their fi rst donation) a workplace
pass to donate blood on company time provided there is favourable manpower. Employees need to prearrange this with
their Supervisor and submit proof of their blood donation immediately upon return to work. Please notify your WTW
leads, Dave Baker (ext. 2192) or Ed Iannetta (ext. 2576), once you have donated fi ve times so that you can be rewarded
by the plant manager. You CAN help WAP reach its target!
