2016MPW Leader
www.mpwservices.com
Larry Lee thought he was in
trouble.
Electrical Supervisor Bill
Miller asked Lee to attend a
meeting that included Miller,
Maintenance Manager Rod
Nieser, Production Manager
Drexel Perry and President
Jared Black.
“They told me they had some
news for me,” said Lee. “I
didn’t know what was going
on at first.”
But Lee was not in trouble. Far
from it — the group informed
him that he would be the
recipient of MPW Industrial
Services’ 2015 Hourly Employ-
ee of the Year Award.
“I was astounded,” said Miller,
who is Lee’s supervisor and
who has been his friend for
about 40 years, going back to
when they grew up in Rush-
ville, Ohio and attended Fair-
field Union High School. “I
think it’s great that he received
that award and it gives other
people something to strive for.”
While Lee said the award came
as a “total surprise” to him,
perhaps it shouldn’t have been.
“I can’t say that I’ve ever
worked with anyone as ded-
icated as Larry,” said Miller.
“I’m just really happy for him.
He’s dedicated so much time.”

MPW rewards
Carter for
perseverance
and integrity
Nearly 20 years ago, a super-
visor offered Wendy Carter
some advice that would turn
out to be prophetic.
“When I first started at MPW
I was very, very shy,” said Car-
ter. “But Jim Stonestreet, who
was the GM for the Container
Division at the time, told me
‘you have to have the courage
to speak out because there’s
something inside you we all
need.’ ”
That was 1998, when Carter
was an administrative assistant
in Chesterfield, Michigan. To-
day, Carter is the Operations
Manager in Chesterfield and
also MPW Industrial Services’
2015 Salaried Employee of the
Year.
Carter’s story is fascinating
and inspiring regardless of her
gender, but it is significant that
Carter is the first female to
receive Employee of the Year
in the seven-year history of the
award. MPW presented Darci
Huth with its 2015 Salesper-
son of the Year Award, making
her the first female to win that
award as well.
The story of how Carter ended
up at MPW is strange, but
bizarre stories are often the
most interesting. It began
when Carter, the youngest of
five children, was a student at
Tennessee State University.
Out of the blue, the school
notified Carter that she was
being dismissed for an out-
standing debt.
This was news to her. After
looking into the debt, she
found that her identity had
been stolen and used to run
up invoices totaling more than
$500,000.
A lesser person would have
been crushed, but Carter was
determined not to go back
home to her mother.
“My mother is the kind of
person who is always helping
other people,” said Carter.

2. Honda Ohio Team dons 2015 Green Hat award
Merriam-Webster defines perfection as “free-
dom from fault or defect.”
MPW Industrial Services defines perfection as
327,795 man-hours without an OSHA-record-
able incident.
This is the feat accomplished by the Facility
Management Division’s Honda Ohio Team in
2015. MPW presented its annual Green Hat
for Safety Award to the team March 14 at the
Honda East Liberty facility.
The Honda Ohio Team’s year came on the
heels of a challenging 2014, when it reported
six OSHA-recordable incidents.
“We know that the improvements and the
changes we’ve seen are because every one
of you on the Honda Ohio Team has made
them,” said Stefanie Coe, who leads MPW’s
Health & Safety group. “It’s not our safety
team, it’s not our management. Those are
components that are important — and we
appreciate the hard work of [MPW Senior
Account Manager] Duane Jolliff and his
team — but every one of those improvements
are because each of you have come to work
with the attitude and the desire to help make
everyone better.”
MPW President Jared Black also congratulat-
ed Honda Ohio.
“It’s great to see all the resiliency, all the hard
work of the people in this room,” he said. “To
see the turnaround and the dedication that
drove the change in 2015 was pretty impres-
sive. So thank you for all your hard work and
effort.”
The Green Hat takes its name from the Na-
tional Safety Council’s Green Cross for Safety,
which is awarded annually to an organization
that “demonstrates a steadfast commitment to
improving safety and health in the workplace
and beyond.”
The MPW Executive Staff presents the award
to the team that has demonstrated the stron-
gest commitment to health and safety in the
following areas:
• Safety culture
• Observations
• Recordable injuries
• Safety incidents
• DOT citations
• Vehicle incidents
• Property damages
Coe said consideration for the Green Hat
requires more than just impressive statistics.
“We’re looking for people who have an
attitude shift, who show engagement, who are
proactive and who think of ways to address
situations long before they arise,” she said.
Health & Safety Supervisor Danny Ivins
joined MPW in February, 2014 and promptly
began implementing a behavior-based safety
program at Honda Ohio locations.
“It flips the typical safety-program concepts,
which are usually managed from the top
down,” said Ivins. “How do we make sure we
reach all our people? The key is the difference
between accountability and responsibility. As
managers, we want to make people account-
able, but people tend to rebel or not listen
when they’re made to do something. We want
safety to be a responsibility, not a mandate.”
Ivins also helped create MPW’s East Liberty
Safety Team in 2014. Consisting of eight to 15
members including associates, team leaders
and supervisors, the team’s goal is to maintain
at least one member on all shifts, providing an
on-the-spot source to answer questions as they
arise.
Ivins mentioned MPW’s new Intelex inci-
dent reporting system as a method to further
streamline processes.
“Intelex has helped us work better and report
better,” he said. “It helps us identify improve-
ment areas and it’s already given us a lot of
data to help us make the hard fixes.”
Black and Ivins each emphasized that success-
ful safety processes require continuous effort.
“Safety’s not something that stops today,”
Black said. “It’s always a challenge. There are
always risks out there. There are always oppor-
tunities for improvement.”
MPW’s Honda Ohio team works from four
locations: Honda Marysville, Honda Anna,
Honda East Liberty and Stanley Electric Co. in
London, Ohio.

Lee’s co-workers repeatedly
mention dedication and precision
when describing Lee’s work. The
electrician will celebrate his ninth
anniversary with MPW in July.
Lee said his scope of work includes
building and installing electrical
panels, troubleshooting and “any-
thing they need me to do in Fab
— just whatever needs to get done.”
Lee’s favorite part of his job is trav-
eling and meeting new people.
Miller said another of Lee’s
strengths is his willingness to drop
what he’s doing at a moment’s
notice to do whatever needs to be
done for MPW.
“If they call and I’m at the house,
I just pack my bag and I’m gone,”
Lee said.
Lee has a history of excellent
performance at MPW, but there are
two projects that stand out to him.
The first took place recently at
Industrial Water’s regeneration
facility in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylva-
nia. According to Lee, there was an
electrical short and other electri-
cians couldn’t figure out the cause
of the problem. Lee was able to
resolve the problem after locating a
short in a main power wire.
Lee said he’s most
proud of the work he
did in 2012, during
the construction of
MPW’s regen facil-
ity in Port Arthur,
Texas. He installed
panels and ran
conduit and wiring
in the 45,000-square-
foot facility. The
service center is the
nation’s largest for
the regeneration of exhausted ion
exchange resins for mobile deion-
ization systems.
Lee becomes the second recipient
of MPW’s Hourly Employee of the
Year Award. The 2014 award went
to Dana Tyree, a mechanic from the
Rockport, Indiana branch.
Miller on why Lee won the
award: “The message is that
dedication and commitment will
pay off eventually. It’s hard to find
someone as committed as Larry. He
shows up early. You can ask him to
go anywhere. He does all the right
things. He’s always on
time and in uniform.
He has a good attitude
and outlook about his
job.”
Miller on the quality
of Lee’s work: “In
everything he does
he strives to be per-
fect. It’s not often you
accomplish that in life,
though.”
Lee on how MPW has
changed since he began here:
“Everything’s improving. We’ve
got this new building [Technology
Center]. It seems like there’s some-
thing new every day.”
Lee on what it means to him to
receive the award: “I was sur-
prised. It was really special.”

of person who is always helping other
people,” said Carter. “For every one of her
own children, she was al-
ways helping out at least one
other person who needed it.
So it was time for me to help
myself.”
A friend referred Carter to
MPW for an administrative
assistant position.
It took six years, but author-
ities finally tracked down the
person who stole Carter’s identity. Living
in Florida, the thief had been using Car-
ter’s identitysinceCarterwas8yearsold.
Finally free of the burden caused by the
fraud, Carter never looked back.
Fast-forward to 2016 and Container Man-
agement Division Plant Services Manager
Curtis Pray said it’s difficult to measure
Carter’s value to his team.
“She’s just the total package,” Pray said.
“She keeps us all in line and makes sure
we’re always doing the right thing admin-
istratively and ethically. She holds her
people accountable, but she genuinely
cares about them so much.”
Carter’s scope of work is as unique and
comprehensive as her skill set.
“I’m the face of MPW with Axalta,” said
Carter. “I spend two to four hours at the
customer’s site every day. Some people
there think I’m an Axalta employee. I’m
in charge of billing, acting as a customer
liaison, human resources, production
planning, logistics, medical consultations
— I’m a registered nurse … I touch every-
thing there.”
Pray said Carter is uniquely qualified to
handle so many roles.
“Her efficiency is fantastic,” he said. “She
sets up systems and processes that allow
her to complete all her tasks.”
CarterwasnamedOperationsManagerinJuly,
2015,joiningover300MPWemployeestoearn
aninternalpromotionbetweenJanuary,2015
andJanuary2016.
“Wendy has really built her skill set, espe-
cially within the last year,” said Pray. “She
just started taking over projects
and quickly she became an oper-
ations manager without anyone
realizing it. So we promoted her
to the position she deserved.”
Carter said the award came as a
complete surprise to her.
“It shows that my work was
never in vain,” she said. “My
grandmother told me to never
expect an award. She said ‘your award is
in heaven.’ ”
Just like Jim Stonestreet 18 years ago, Car-
ter’s grandmother is undoubtedly correct.
Carter on her MPW mentors: “Monte
Black is always offering encouragement.
Curtis Pray and Jim Neville let me know
they believe in me and I’ll always be grate-
ful to them.”
Carter on how the Container Manage-
ment Division has changed since 1998:
“We’re implementing new processes and
upgrading technology. There’s more team-
work. It’s a stronger, more family-oriented
group.”
Carter on MPW’s success: “The people
out there doing the work are what made
us. Without them there wouldn’t be a
Wendy.”
Carter on her MPW career: “Stand up
and be counted without compromising
you character. Whatever the task, do it
well and be the best you that you can pos-
sibly be. The road traveled with MPW has
not always been smooth but every bump
produced growth. This journey has been
life-changing and something I will cherish
for life.”

Thank you for your commitment to safe
highways and MPW Services. Without
you, MPW would not be mobile!
I came into the MPW Industrial
Services’ CDL Training Program
with very little driving experience
or knowledge. Thankfully my in-
structor was very helpful and com-
forting while teaching the correct
way to do everything. I was able to
learn a lot and experience the full
reach of what it takes to become a
truck driver.
Although the training was infor-
mative and very thorough I feel
that some aspects of truck driving
can only be learned from years of
experience on the road. I would like
thank everyone from Porta Kleen
and MPW for helping me achieve
my goals and teaching me lifelong
skills that will make me a safe and
productive driver.
I would highly recommend anyone
with the opportunity and desire to
be a part of such a program to give
it a try.

Hoskins earns Safety Professional of the Year Award
Faced with multiple profession-
al challenges in 2015, Daniel
Hoskins helped coach, train and
lead his teammates to success.
Daniel joined MPW as the Health
and Safety Supervisor at Toyota
George-
town, Ken-
tucky, in
November
2013. The
MPW exec-
utive staff
and safety
department
manage-
ment select-
ed Daniel
to be the
recipient of the 2015 MPW Safety
Professional of the Year Award.
MPW was awarded additional
work at Toyota which drew great-
er scrutiny from the customer.
This created an immediate need
for more trained staff, increased
the use of temporary employees
and necessitated better communi-
cation with team members.
Hoskins worked diligently with
local management to ensure all
employees — temporary and full-
time — receive critical training in a
manner that allows them to safely
perform their job functions.
Hoskins and
the regional
manager
met with
each team
leader and
supervisor to
review MPW’s
expectations
and make sure
they were
prepared to
comply.
“Daniel has demonstrated his
dedication at work while taking
a hands-on approach to working
with our employees,” said Kevin
Sullivan, General Manager of
MPW’s Facility Management
Division.
Daniel created visual safety boards
to help educate and communicate
withallemployees.
“Making safety visual for all em-
ployees has helped the team have
a better understanding of MPW’s
expectations and execute their
work in the safest manner possi-
ble,” said Stefanie Coe, Corporate
Director of Health & Safety.
One way the team made safety
visual was to utilize green safety
hard hats. New hard hats were
issued to every team leader and
supervisor.
“The safety supervisor is here for
interpretation and assistance but
the team leaders and supervisors
have to be the driving force,” said
Hoskins.
The team at Toyota also created
a safety improvement team to
get input from multiple team
members.
“Daniel’s commitment to im-
provement and leadership has
been an integral part of the safety
and operational success at Toyota
in 2015,” said Coe.

After launching the use of Intelex as its safety
management system in 2015, MPW Industri-
al Services has now initiated the observation
component of the system. MPW is now asking all
employees to enter one observation per month.
Observations of unsafe acts, conditions or other
hazards can be identified inside or outside of
work. MPW’s goal is to encourage all employees
to be more aware of their surroundings, identi-
fy risk and take action to correct the situation
before an incident occurs.
Each business unit has formed a committee
to review observations and select a winning
observation every month. Below are the winning
observations for last month from the ICG and
Industrial Water groups.
Industrial Water : Nathanael Messinger –
Safety Observation #7144, FS Great Lakes, Day
Shift, FS - RO Container, Unsafe Condition, Haz-
ardous Products.
Messinger’s observation:
On many occasions while transferring chemicals
into daytanks, I would notice chemicals splashing
up as they were being pumped into the tank. Small
amounts of chemical would splash out of the top
of the tank. Since I have to monitor the level in the
tank, the lid has to be open to prevent overfilling
which exposes me to possible splash hazards.
Messinger’s action:
I created a solution which prevented the splash from
occurring and also prevented a siphon from empty-
ing the day tank after pumping was complete. I used
1-inch scheduled 40 PVC to construct a downspout
and a tee and elbow created an air gap to prevent
siphon. The air gap also directs almost 100 percent
of the splash into the top of the tank and away from
the opening. While I have not had the opportunity
to thoroughly test the new downspout, the first test
seems to have completely eliminated splash from
the opening of the day tank. I was able to construct
the downspout for about $6.25 retail price and have
installed them on four chemical day tanks to date. It
is a very simple and inexpensive design that prevents
possible injury from chemical exposure.
Industrial Cleaning Group: Shawn Redbird –
Safety Observation 1609, NRG Avon Lake, Great
Lakes District.
Redbird’s observation:
I looked to my right to see an unguarded point to a
very narrow crane runway. The guard bar was down
and unpinned. Anyone could have fallen to their
death if they went into the area.
Redbird’s actions:
I had everyone stay back, and I donned fall protec-
tion by finding a spot for a beam strap. I hooked up
for 100 percent tie off and closed the car and gate to
the runway. I hung caution take up, replaced the pin,
advised MPW employees to stay clear of the area
and informed plant personnel of the situation.
