CKneeknockers have been known to leap tall buildings in a single bound.J We solicit all crewmembers to be safety officers when they check aboard because on a ship this size everyone needs to assist in eliminating hazards. We like to think we measure our success if we only keep just one person from getting injured. Injury-free operations is our goal and we pride ourselves in ensuring Lex personnel are instilled with safety awareness at work and play. Safety is continually attempting to provide Lady Lex sailors with a safe working environment through education, protective equipment and material condition. We are committed to that mission and happy to be the leaders of the Blue Ghost safety effort. CDR ROBINSON p Safety Officer through April l 1990 1 1 .
