Greetings all

[Santa]

You may already know that I manage a thriving toy-building venture in the North Pole. The hazards are many and various. Everything from high risk plant and machinery to eye injury caused by mid air expulsion of reindeer poop!

I look forward to sound advice on hazard management and meantime, wish you all the best for 2009!
