Mr. Housh travelled, the longest distance to be at the seminar which marked one of the few times all of Looby's foremen and engineers have been present at the same occasion. Senior personnel of Looby Construction Limited and Looby Builders (Dublin) Limited met at the Knights of Columbus Hall in St. Columban last week for a three day safety and construction technique seminar sponsored by the Construction Safety Associa- tion of Ontario. The men travel- led to the conference from all over Ontario and represented all the construction sites at which the companies are now working. The end of the 1970 construction season provided an opportunity to bring personnel together at one time. The sessions began at eight each morning and continued until 5:00 p.m. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In opening the conference, Louis Looby, Safety Director emphasized that "accidents du not just 'happen' - they are caused, mostly by carelessness and lack of knowledge". He added that the company is con- cerned with safety and is tighten- ing-up its safety procedures. The Seminar had been called to ensure that all personnel receive the same groundwork. Mr. Looby introduced three representatives present from the C.S. C.S.A.O. and handed the meeting over to C.S.A.O. management counsellor, Geoff. Hoyle. Mr. Hoyle outlined the three day agenda which constitutes the association's "Effective Fore- manship" course including two days on Safety and one day on Concrete Forming techniques. Harold Carr, Administrative Supervisor of the Education De- partment of the C.S.A.O. told the group he had been a union organizer for. 17 years and that the unions did a good job in promoting safety. Mr. Carr showed several films including one depicting management being against safety programmes be- cussion on concrete forming methods. The instructors know- ledge along with active feedback from the men led to an informa- tive and useful session. Mr. Looby said the C.S.A.O. certific- ates of successful completion of the course were presented by Louis Looby who. in turn, was presented with his certificate by Bert Travis. Useful literature was given to each person on the course in order that they could refresh their memories from time to time. All facets of safety covered in the literature had been pre- viously covered in the seminars. Stan Connelly, P.
