MPW’s charitable efforts
When Kristen Black presented a donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs
of Columbus on September 12, it marked a subtle change for MPW
Industrial Services.
The gift itself was nothing new — in fact, Black said MPW has a
longstanding history of charitable contributions. It’s the compa-
ny’s willingness to
acknowledge these
donations that signals
a philosophical shift.
“MPW has always giv-
en back, but our previ-
ous efforts were very
under the radar be-
cause we were focused
on helping people, not
drawing attention to
ourselves,” said Black.
“Our employees didn’t
know; our customers
didn’t know. We’re not
looking for a pat on the
back, but now we want
to increase interest in
volunteering and get as
many people involved
as possible.”
ALIGNED VALUES
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbus (BGCC) provides comprehen-
sive and affordable after-school and summer programming to youth
ages 6 through 18. The clubs offer a safe and positive environment
and a variety of enriching extracurricular activities.
Black, MPW’s Director of Philanthropy & Community Engage-
ment, said the company selected the BGCC for many reasons. The
clubs’ focus on education and volunteerism thoroughly align with
two of MPW’s core values — innovation and service. Also, Boys &
Girls Clubs is a nationwide organization, with locations in many of
MPW’s key work areas.
“The Boys & Girls Clubs actively and directly help children by
teaching them life skills and the value of education,” said Black.
“But they’re not just about fundraising. Our partnership has already
drawn some interest in volunteering from some MPW employees.”
An MPW consultant recommended the clubs to MPW. But it wasn’t
until after she met with BGCC’s Director of Development, Hilary
Blakemore, and toured the clubs’ facilities that Black decided to
authorize the donation,
which was the company’s
first endowment to the
BGCC.
In a letter of thanks to
MPW, Rebecca Asmo,
Executive Director of
the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Columbus, wrote:
“Your generous contri-
bution will make a direct
impact on the lives of
our Club members. Club
programs such as Power
Hour, Summer Brain
Gain and Career Launch
ensure that 5,500 youth
ages 6-18 are prepared
to graduate from high
school with a plan for the
future. Additionally, pro-
grams such as Triple Play
focus on their mind, body
and soul, creating responsible and caring citizens who are leading
healthy lifestyles in our community.”
DIRECTOR, AND A LEADING ROLE
Black, who has worked for MPW for more than 10 years, has been in
the Philanthropy & Community Engagement position for only about
one year. It’s the first time MPW has had a full-time employee whose
main focus is on endowments.
Much of her work to this point has included research, streamlining
processes and defining the types of projects and charities that are the

MPW hosts webinar focusing on
recovery boiler safety, automation
MPW Industrial Services hosted a webinar on Sep-
tember 7, titled Recovery Boiler MRO — Using Auto-
mation to Enhance Paper Mill Safety and Efficiency.
The host of the event, Jimmy Peck, General Manager
of MPW’s Industrial Cleaning division, explained the
increased safety advantages of MPW’s products and
services and analyzed various reasons for utilizing
such solutions.
Peck noted that while working in hazardous environ-
ments, robotic tools can assist with:
• Decreasing safety- and quality-related incidents
• Eliminating the need for workers to enter potentially
dangerous spaces by offering hands-free operation
• Pinpointing exact locations of obstructions and
defects through the utilization of cameras
• Increasing efficiency, decreasing downtime and pro-
viding detailed and consistent monitoring
Peck’s expertise in MPW’s automated technology led
to speaking engagements at the Black Liquor Recovery
Boiler Advisory Committee in October, 2015 and the
American Forest & Paper Association in February,
2016.
The webinar concludes the two-part series for 2016.
Gary Babaryk hosted MPW’s first webinar, Tech-
niques for Safe Elimination of Combustible Dust, in
June.
Marketing Director Michael Zimmerman said each
webinar was successful in generating leads and com-
municating to industrial businesses that MPW is an
expert in important industrial cleaning procedures.
Based on this success, MPW is planning more webi-
nars for 2017, with as-yet undetermined topics.

Autumn driving caution:
Collisions with deer can cost big bucks
Vehicles and deer can be a lethal combina-
tion. An increase in urban sprawl and roads
being built through wildlife habitats have
displaced deer from their natural habitat,
leading to a rise in deer-vehicle collisions,
according to the Insurance Information
Institute.
Deer migration and mating season generally
runs from October through December and
causes a dramatic increase in the movement
of the deer population. As a result, more
deer-vehicle collisions occur in this period
than at any other time of year, so drivers
need to be especially vigilant.
An estimated 1.23 million deer-vehicle
collisions occurred in the U.S. last year, cost-
ing more than $4 billion in vehicle damage,
according to State Farm, the nation’s leading
auto insurer.
The average claim for deer-vehicle collisions
was $3,305, with costs varying depending
on the type of vehicle and severity of the
damage. The Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety noted that deer-vehicle collisions in
the U.S. cause about 200 fatalities annually.
What can you do to avoid hitting deer?
• Be especially attentive from sunset to mid-
night and during the hours shortly before
and after sunrise. These are the high-
est-risk times for deer-vehicle collisions.
• Drive with caution when moving through
deer-crossing zones, in areas known to
have a large deer population and in areas
where roads divide agricultural fields from
forestland. Deer seldom run alone. If you
see one deer, others may be nearby.
• When driving at night, use high-beam head-
lights when there is no oncoming traffic.
The high beams will better illuminate the
eyes of deer on or near the roadway.
• Slow down and blow your horn with one
long blast to frighten the deer away.
• Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or
near your path, but stay in your lane. Many
serious crashes occur when drivers swerve
to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or
lose control of their cars.
• Do not rely on devices such as deer whis-
tles, deer fences and reflectors to deter
deer. These devices have not been proven
to reduce deer-vehicle collisions.
If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch
the animal. A frightened or wounded deer
can hurt you or further injure itself. The best
procedure is to get your car off the road if
possible, contact MPW Dispatch or your
supervisor and call the police.

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, Industrial Water, FEM and Shop
groups.
Industrial Water
Randy Riley – Safety Observation
#10299
Riley’s observation: While operating a
customer’s equipment at a customer
site, I noticed that the flow path was
not marked. Upon further inspection,
I was also noticed that none of the
sample points were easily identifiable.
Riley’s action: MPW employees ap-
proached the customer and put
together a plan to clearly label and
mark the flow path and sample ports.
Feedback: Riley’s home location is at
the MPW Service Center in Sedalia,
MIssouri. He has also been working
part time in Field Services operating
various pieces of MPW equipment. In
this case he was operating the cus-
tomer’s equipment, and while doing
so he identified an opportunity to
improve their operation and make
it safer. By utilizing the skills (5S) he
learned in Sedalia, he worked with the
MPW team and the customer to clearly
mark the customer’s equipment, mak-
ing it safer for everyone.
Industrial Cleaning Group
Caleb Brown – Safety Observation
#10161
Brown’s observation: We were pre-
paring to perform a vacuum job on
Soybean Bin A and the customer was
working on clearing the beans via the
conveyor on the bottom of the silo
to create a safe path for us to walk
to vacuum the beans from in front of
an access door to allow it to swing
inward. Upon completing the clean on
the customer’s side, the path to get to
where we had to vac was still covered
in soybeans and had a 35-40-foot wall
of beans on the left and right side
of the path with a very steep angle.
Although we were going to use a re-
trieval device and lifeline, I didn’t have
a good feeling about placing our em-
ployee into the line of danger. I asked
the customer if there was any other
option to having to cross over that
direction and use that path. They said
that was the only way, and told us “We
climb all around there all the time, it
is safe.” I didn’t have a good feeling
about knowingly placing someone
into harm’s way.
Brown’s action: I confronted the cus-
tomer and told him my feelings about
not wanting to put any of my employ-
ees into harm’s way. They said that
they understood and we vacuumed an
area just inside the door to clear an
area away from serious risk of engulf-
ment and allow a smaller door to be
opened instead.
FEM: Container – Safety Observation
#9407
Teresa Warren
Warren’s observation: She mentioned
that exterior employees are leaving
their scrapper on top of totes, caus-
ing a danger of falling off and hitting
other employees.
Warren’s action: Manager asked if
someone would follow up to make
sure exterior employees understand
importance of never leaving anything
on top of tote.
Shops
William Moore – Safety Observation
#8922
Moore’s observation: When raising
a tank on a vac truck, I noticed that
when the tank was going up the make
break seal and clamp stayed on the
blower side of the unit. If this would
have stuck on until the tank was going
up, it could have fallen off onto the
operator. Also, the lip to which the
make break seal clamps on this unit
was just about the same size. It should
be a little larger, allowing it to clamp
better. We possibly need to put some
sort of retaining device on the clamp
and seal assembly so it does not fall
off.
Moore’s action: Informed my immedi-
ate supervisor.
Monthly Safety Observations
Driver Appreciation
I would like to thank MPW Industrial
Services management and Aaron
Thompson for this opportunity, be-
cause they made it possible for me to
obtain my Class-A CDL. I have held
a Class-B license since 1991, and I can
honestly say that operating a Class-A
vehicle is much different.
As a child I always wanted to be
a truck driver, and now with my
Class-A license I have an opportunity
to gain the experience of a true driver
and learn more about the trucking in-
dustry. I am looking forward to a long
and productive career with MPW.
Thanks to MPW for this opportunity.
My experience during the training
was very eye opening, because I was
able to get a better understanding of
how MPW operates and what the val-
ues are. Everyone that I encountered
during my training showed great
hospitality and treated me as if I was
an extended family member or a part
of their local team.
I think if I did not have the opportu-
nity to attend this program, I would
not have tried to obtain my Class-A
CDL. This training program will help
many employees get motivated to
get their commercial license. I would
also like to thank Mr. Monte Black
for building such a great company to
work for and allowing employees to
advance within the company.

best fits for MPW contributions. Black said
she will continue to focus on groups — like the
BGCC — whose initiatives align with MPW’s
core values and help people in geographical areas
near MPW locations.
“The role is still evolving,” said Black. “It’s
important that it’s now handled by one person.
It helps us stay on mission and make sure we’re
finding good organizations we can help. The
challenge has been saying no sometimes. We get
so many requests, but of course it’s not possible
to help everyone.”
GIVE IT AWAY NOW
As recently as August, there were two impressive
examples of MPW’s generosity which demon-
strate that MPW’s charitable ideology includes
more than the donation of funds:
• MPW donates crew and equipment to clean
the exterior of Lakewood High School
• MPW contributes crew to help clean up after
West Virginia flooding
BLACK TO THE FUTURE
Black said she’s researching the possibility of
hosting fundraising events at the company’s
Corporate Headquarters in Hebron.
“I just want to get more people involved,” she
said. “We have a lot of employees who are on the
road, so we’re working on a distracted driving
initiative for next year.”
Black said the loss of MPW Graphic Designer
Brandon Sega also motivated her to consider
furthering the cause of distracted driving. Sega,
25, was killed on New Year’s Eve when the ve-
hicle in which he was a passenger was struck by
another motorist.
“Moving forward, I want to get more involve-
ment in terms of ideas, and I want to make sure
we’re helping organizations near our branch
locations,” she said.
If you are interested in volunteering, please con-
tact Kristen Black at KBlack@MPWServices.com.
“... we were focused on
helping people, not drawing
attention to ourselves.”
