This document summarizes a presentation given by Manir Al-Faisal, an electrical engineering co-op student, about his work experience. It discusses safety issues with traction on icy surfaces that have led to injuries. It then introduces the speaker and his educational and work background, including current projects involving monitoring methanol tank levels, installing standalone displays, and developing preventative maintenance packages. Recommendations are provided to improve the co-op experience and opportunities for permanent positions.

2. Safety Share
Effective use of traction aids on site:
 Safety boots provide minimal traction on black ice
 Risk of walking into such surfaces on site
 7 Loss Time Injury cases recorded, Albian Sands – Shell
Features:
 Elastic and fit in all weather
 Better traction, durability and longer wear
 Easy use and quick adjustment
