‘Bridge to last a lifetime’Our U.S. plate mills in Burns

Harbor, Coatesville and Conshohocken are supplying 160,000 tons of high performance steel that will be used in the unique, US$3.9bn “New NY Bridge” project.

The 3.1-mile twin span cable-stayed bridge is the single largest bridge construction project in New York’s history, and the largest transportation design-build project to date in the United States. The project involves upgrading the Tappan Zee Bridge spanning the Hudson River between Rockland and Westchester Counties in New York.

Plate mills are supplying their HPS70W high performance steel to two of the projects’ major steel fabricators, High Industries and Hirschfield Industries Bridge, for bridge and girder fabrication. A significant amount of Burns Harbor material was also supplied to Berg for the bridge pilings earlier in 2013.

“We are very pleased to have been selected to provide our high performance plate material for this major, historic infrastructure project,” said John Battisti, chief operating officer, ArcelorMittal USA Plate. ‘’The number of

ArcelorMittal employees involved with this project is well over 1,000 – probably closer to 2,000 employees. With a project this size, involvement starts right from the beginning.’’

Supplying record-breaking bridges around the world

More than 200,000 tons of ArcelorMittal steel helped build some remarkable new bridges over the last two years. Impressive contributions have been made to the world of mega-bridges: Mexico, Venezuela, France, Distribution Solutions, Luxembourg – the list of ArcelorMittal teams and sites involved is almost as long as some of the bridges our company provided steel for.

New on the list of the world’s record-breaking bridges is the Hardanger bridge - or the “Norway Sky Bridge” as it’s been nicknamed. Our WireSolutions site in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, supplied special cable steel hangers with cast steel sockets to link to the main cables holding up this metal marvel.

Southeast Asia’s longest bridge, the recently opened 24-km long Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge, comprises a total of 11,105 tons of our steel pipes delivered by OSP – Oriental Sheet Piling, part of Distribution Solutions - along with coating, inner rings, driving shoes and lifting lugs.

In Mexico, our Lázaro Cárdenas site supplied 130,000 tons of steel for the corrugated rods in the structure of the Baluarte Bicentennial Bridge - the highest cable-stayed bridge in the

world that is making travel through the treacherous Mexican mountain range, the Sierra Madre, safer. In Venezuela, 6,000 tons of our rebar is being used to build the 11km bridge over the Orinoco

River - the third longest bridge in the world. Distribution Solutions’ business division international has been coordinating the supply, working in close collaboration with our mill in Las Truchas, Mexico.

In continental Europe, last year our Differdange plant in Luxembourg delivered jumbo beams more than 60m in length for a new Deutsche Bahn rail bridge in Dresden, Germany.

ArcelorMittal steel in record-breaking mega bridges Starting with the ‘New NY bridge’ project, we look at how our steel is helping to replace a mega-structure over the Hudson River in the U.S. state of New York. In Norway, we look at the incredible ‘sky bridge’ and its growing army of fans, while in Mexico we celebrate the use of ArcelorMittal steel in a bridge that’s helped to make journeys through the Sierra Madre mountains safer.

Health and Safety Day 2014 served as an occasion to be reminded how important safety is, to recommit and to learn about how we can improve our safety at work. There was much to celebrate, with steady progress in our lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) which reached a new low of 0.8 in 2013. There has also been a decrease in the number of fatalities from 30 in 2012 to 23 in 2013. The key message, however, remained the same: zero is the only acceptable number. And there is still considerable work to do on the company’s “Journey to Zero”; many sites and mines held a minute of silence for the four colleagues who have lost their lives this year, as well as for those co-workers we lost in previous years.

Mr. Mittal reiterated his message from the first quarter financial results announcement in February and Investor Day in March, saying: “I am not satisfied with the severity and the fatality rates. If accidents are of a repetitive nature, it means we really need to work a lot on our behaviour, on the culture, on the engagement and the participation

of all our employees and raise awareness in the company that we need to be careful.”

Gonzalo Urquijo, who is the GMB member responsible for Health and Safety, set out a roadmap in the annual Health and Safety Day video: “this year we have a target of 0.75 and we have set an objective for 2017 of 0.5. That isn’t easy; we have to work very hard, why? Because as you become better in order to make progress it becomes harder and harder, and the effort has to be much bigger.”

Specific focus areas Mandatory for all sites, the

three occupational safety topics for this year’s Health and Safety Day were falling from heights, slips, trips and falls, and pinch points.

While spotting hazards is already an integral part of shop floor audits and layered evaluations, during Health and Safety Day colleagues were urged to focus specifically on the hazards relating to falling from heights; slips, trips and falls; and pinch points . Area Hazard Spotting (AHS), as it is called, was the methodology launched on the day, providing a way to systematically spot hazards relating to the day’s three specific safety topics.

Our U.S. facilities in Columbus (Ohio) and Weirton (West Virginia) introduced AHS with a game: employees and contractors practiced their skills by recognizing and identifying staged slips, trips and falls hazards and winning small prizes for spotting the most.

To address the occupational health topics – hearing conservation, lung and breathing protection, fatigue and sleep disorders and smoking in certain workplaces – our site in Newcastle, South Africa, organized a “wellness village”, helping workers quit dependence on tobacco and other substances.

“Stop, think and act safely – I practice”

Corporate Health and Safety also took the opportunity to launch a new campaign on the day with the motto ‘I practice’. To focus initially on the two most common causes of fatalities – crushing and falling from heights – the campaign aims to have employees to commit and take a pledge to act safely and watch out for each other. Information packages and communication material is being distributed across all ArcelorMittal sites.

Special celebrationsThe day was also an occasion

to mark the progress we have made in terms of LTIFR. At ArcelorMittal Dofasco, in 2013 the company’s lowest ever annual LTIR was achieved – 0.44. Colleagues at our cold rolling and steel making plants at Vanderbijlpark Works, South Africa, led the celebrations with both having recently achieved 10 million LTI free man-hours. In the UK, the Scunthorpe Distribution Solutions site recently completed almost five and a half years with no lost time injury thanks largely to implementing behaviour-based initiatives. This achievement provided encouragement to Etxebarri in Spain, where a new programme called “Avisame” (Spanish for “warn me”) based on promoting behavioural change has been rolled out.

There was also much to celebrate in our Mining segment, which has completed 100 days injury free, meaning 17,000 colleagues working in iron ore mines have returned home safely at the end of their working day. To add to this, the Serra Azul mine in Brazil recently completed five years with zero LTIs.

While Health and Safety Day is over for another year we should all remember Mr. Mittal’s closing remarks from the day’s video: “don’t only say it, implement it.”Hearing protection is one of the focus topics for Health and Safety Day

Reinvesting in our people and assetsContinuous improvement is often associated with capturing value in an organization. Identifying and eliminating loss and waste is one side of the continuous improvement coin, while the other is investment and renewal. In 2014 ArcelorMittal Dofasco will commission two new state-of-the-art lines that will keep our finishing operations at world class standards and enable our company to continue to provide a diverse range of superior quality steels that are lighter, stronger and more sustainable.

Graham Reid, Vice President, [email protected]

Since the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, there has been an intensified effort around Continuous Improvement at ArcelorMittal Dofasco. This effort has taken the form of traditional “top down” improvement projects, such as AMD100, as well as employee driven improvement, like World Class Manufacturing. Overall, the results delivered through continuous improvement have been a big factor in our ability to recover from the crisis, and in fact to emerge a stronger, more productive and profitable company. We’ve become the number one performing steel plant in North America and the number one in customer satisfaction for 4 quarters straight on the strength of our people and on our relentless pursuit to continuously improving everything we do.

However, being at the top is not guaranteed. To stay there requires a commitment to further improve – committing to stop, challenge and choose before every task, finding waste and eliminating it and performing with excellence.

North America’s number one performing steel plant

Our goal for ArcelorMittal Dofasco is to continue to be the Number One performing steel plant in North America. A critical element of this goal is to reinvest in our people and our assets to

ensure that we position ourselves to operate at world class levels. Investments bring technologically advanced workplaces, increased health and safety, environmental improvements like energy savings as well as improved quality, efficiency and productivity. Together, these improvements solidify our ability to meet and exceed our customers’ needs for a diverse range of superior quality steels that meet increasingly narrow specifications and tolerances.

On that front, this year our finishing operations will get a lift with the completion of two major investments. The No.3 Temper Mill will replace both the 2-66 and 5-56 Temper Mills and be online in September while the much anticipated No. 6 Galvanize line will replace our current No. 2 Galvanize line and will be up and running in December. Both of these new lines are located in the Sheet Mill area of the plant, between the Main Office and Beach Road, on the east side off Ottawa Street.

No.3 Temper Mill – September, 2014

Our new Temper Mill is a $33M investment and replaces two older lines, creating a world class processing stream for Cold Roll Products. The line features state-of-the-art automation that will result in superior quality and throughput (800,000 tons per year). The line will improve our capability in elongation control, shape control, surface characteristics and oiling.

The tempering process occurs after the steel has been annealed. For Cold Roll products,

tempering is the final process the steel undergoes before going to packaging and outside processing (slitting, cut-to- length, inspection, and tension leveling). Tempering creates the desired surface roughness, strip shape and controls the mechanical properties of the steel.

The Temper Mill construction is scheduled to be completed in late June, at which point commissioning will take place through to late September. Nearly 30 colleagues, from Engineering Maintenance Technology and the Cold Roll and Tin business unit, have been working on the project full time to support construction and manufacturing integration and to prepare for the commissioning. The State Group is the main construction contractor on the job, with an average of 160 contractors on site each day. The equipment for the project is being supplied by Belgium based Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie’s (CMI) Metallurgy division.

The line will be staffed with employees who are currently working on the 2-66 and 5-56 Temper Mills. Employees have been undergoing operator skills training in preparation to move to the new mill, and will continue to be trained through the construction completion and commissioning.

No.6 Galvanize – December 2014

This $120M investment positions ArcelorMittal Dofasco to supply the growing demand for advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in the Automotive market segment.

In Galvanizing, a protective zinc coating is applied to our steel in order to make the steel corrosion resistant. This is done by the hot-dip process, in which the steel strip is submerged in a bath of molten zinc.

The new Galvanizing line will replace No.2 Galvanize Line, and will see operators running the latest galvanizing technology and equipment. Steel coming off this line includes galvanize and galvanneal, coated hot roll and cold roll for both Automotive and Construction applications. No.6 Galvanize will also produce zinc coated Dual Phase and Press

Hardenable Steel for Automotive applications. The line is unique in that it has an advanced furnace capable of producing heavy-gauge Advanced High Strength Steels and it also has inline tempering and tension leveling for high quality surface characteristics and flatness.

The No.6 Galvanize line is in the heart of the construction phase and is scheduled to begin commissioning in August. The first coil from the line is expected in December.

The ArcelorMittal Dofasco project team is now approximately 40 strong. The new line’s Team

Leaders and Assistant Team Leaders joined the group in April and are preparing the training material for operators in conjunction with Mohawk College. The operating team is expected to begin in late May so that they are trained for the start of commissioning.

Like the Temper Mill, the equipment is being supplied by Belgium based Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie’s (CMI) Metallurgy division. Construction is being done by Matrix NAC (formerly Kvaerner) and more than 325 construction workers are on site for two shifts each day.

The No.6 Galvanize line is a $120M investment that positions ArcelorMittal Dofasco to supply the growing demand for advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in the Automotive market segment. The line is in the heart of the construction phase and is scheduled to begin commissioning in August.

Our new No.3 Temper Mill is a $33M investment and replaces two older lines, creating a world class processing stream for Cold Roll Products. Construction on the mill is scheduled to be completed in late June, at which point commissioning will take place through to late September.

Wasn’t that a…winter?The Winter of 2013 - 2014 was the coldest in 20 years according to Environment Canada. In Hamilton, it brought everything from rain storms and flooding to ice and record low temperatures. For ArcelorMittal Dofasco it challenged our people and our equipment, but in the end, perseverance and patience got us through.

Marie [email protected]

The winter of 2013 – 2014 was a season to remember and one we’re sure to talk about for years to come. In casual conversations there are many “I’ve never seen anything like it” statements and even more “I’m glad it’s over” sentiments.

While we expect cold weather given that Canada is the second coldest country in the world (after Russia, and ahead of

Mongolia), this past winter saw temperatures dive to the coldest we’ve seen in 20 years. Even more stunning is that the winter of 2011 – 2012 was the third warmest weather since record keeping began in 1948. It was a major swing, and perhaps a shock to system of the people and equipment of ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

Sean Donnelly, VP Manufacturing, says he hasn’t seen anything like it in his 32-years at ArcelorMittal Dofasco. “This doesn’t affect just manufacturing operations,” he

says. “This affects everyone: Material Handling and Logistics moving materials and product around the plant, Metallurgy employees taking samples, Plant Stores employees making deliveries, Commercial employees trying to visit customers and everyone navigating to and from work are just some examples. From my perspective, everyone muscled through despite the challenges. It was a tremendous effort and most importantly, we did it without any significant accidents or injuries.”

While there are many examples of the effects of the weather, he says there were two events that stand out. The first was a flooded roof on a powerhouse in primary manufacturing which briefly took down all three coke plants and blast furnaces. One of the blast furnaces was chilled (meaning the liquid iron cannot be tapped out of it). “That took some heroics and 48 hours to get it going again,” says Sean. The second major event was the first round of the Polar Vortex that hit in early January. It was the cold that wrecked havoc on pipes, material, belts and people. The prolonged deep freeze also resulted in 90 per cent of the Great Lakes being under ice, the second largest amount ever recorded, which provided challenges to the start of the shipping season and slowing deliveries of raw materials including iron ore and coal.

The net result of the weather impact? While the efforts of employees to troubleshoot, repair and manage through the elements minimized the impact, there was a need to purchase slabs to make up for our shortfall. The impact continued

through the thaw of the tremendous build up of ice. Despite these challenges the performance of the company remains quite strong.

As Sean wrote in a thank you to the manufacturing teams, “[We would] like to extend our

appreciation to each of you for enduring the hardships of working through these tough conditions. With your efforts and attention to safety you have once again demonstrated the true meaning of “Our Strength is Our People.”

This icy scene at the Hot Mill Mixing Station was typical during the winter. At the Mixing Station natural gas and air are combined to produce a fuel for the Reheat Furnaces when Coken Oven Gas supply is not sufficient.

Material Handling and Logistics faced many challenges through the winter months. One of them was ice and snow build-up on slabs. Despite the group’s winter procedure to reduce the number of slabs that haulers carry at one time, there were still challenges handling the wet and slick materials.

Every April, ArcelorMittal facilities around the group hold a Health and Safety Day engaging

in exercises that reinforce our number one priority. Last year at Dofasco, Stop. Challenge. Choose. was launched to mark the occasion. Billed as a program that would help achieve our next performance breakthrough, Stop. Challenge. Choose. delivered –

taking hold across the company, in a year that saw our best year of health and safety performance ever. As we celebrated this year’s Global Health and Safety Day on April 28, many of our conversations were about how to maintain this achievement and

get even better. After all, like all things at ArcelorMittall Dofasco, our Health and Safety success is founded in our focus on continuous improvement. Our “specialty” has become, and must remain, our ability to identify risks and reduce them to the

lowest possible level - always looking for the next improvement in everything we do.

Each year there are hundreds of examples of teams finding ways to make our environment and work even safer. Recently, we’ve seen two examples where an ongoing risk was identified and actions were taken to better manage it. In the end, it’s not always about eliminating risk — it’s about making sure we have controlled it.

Batch Anneal In Batch Anneal, all

staircases have safety handrails. But as one employee pointed out, the handrails don’t always start right at the top, or finish right at the bottom. With this feedback, the local leadership team investigated the state of all stairwells and found that six posed a tripping or falling hazard due to three feet of missing rail on either end of the stairs. From there it was agreed that the previous safety system design inadequately managed the risk and the stairs in Batch Anneal would be safer with extended handrails. Within weeks, new extensions were welded in all six locations. Thanks Rick Oatway, Steve Mikulin, and everyone involved for making Stop. Challenge. Choose. part of your mindset.

Main Office ParkingThe Main Office’s North

Parking Lot had been cause for concern as employees crossed busy Burlington St. at a special pedestrian crosswalk installed by the City of Hamilton. Because of

the crosswalk’s close proximity to the intersection of Ottawa and Burlington streets, the traffic light was unexpected for many drivers, and vehicular traffic has been seen running red lights, narrowly missing pedestrians.

In February, a number of near misses were reported which led to agreement by the Executive Team and Quality Management Council to devise more appropriate controls. The first step was moving employee parking closer to the Ottawa and Burlington St. intersection so employees could cross at the traditional city intersection. This large and well identified intersection provides more consistent traffic behavior and expectations for both pedestrians and drivers, especially when compared to the previously used special cross-walk so often missed by drivers. While there will always be a risk associated in any pedestrian and vehicle interaction, risk is better managed at the Burlington and Ottawa St. intersection because drivers and pedestrians alike have greater awareness of the potential hazards (expectation of pedestrians crossing and oncoming multi-directional traffic etc). Work is underway with the city to identify further improvement opportunities to increase safety for our employees that cross at various intersections on their way to and from the job as well as to evaluate enhancements to Dofasco’s property to improve the pedestrian crossing experience. This transition required compromise and action from all involved.

Managing and controlling riskFor outstanding Health and Safety performance it isn’t always about eliminating risk. It’s about making sure we identify and control risks through Stop. Challenge. Choose.

Thanks to feedback from an employee, this handrail in Batch Anneal was extended all the way up the stairs creating a safer passage for all.

Taylor Steel, headquartered in Stoney Creek, is one of ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s premier service centre customers as well as our premier processing supplier. The firm, which has six facilities, processes our steel according to end-product specifications for manufacturers across North America.

A customer and supplier to ArcelorMittal Dofasco since it began in 1967, Taylor Steel offers slitting, tension leveling, cut-to-length, inspection and storage services. Taylor is family-owned and its customers include automotive makers, construction and manufacturing companies as well as appliance manufacturers.

ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s Commercial and Quality teams work very closely with Taylor Steel to ensure that our products and services help to keep Taylor Steel at the forefront of service centres. Taylor Steel also offers custom processing to us as a form of sub-contracted service in order to help us better serve our customers. Ours is a relationship that began on trust and a handshake, and which has grown over time.

Taylor is well known for the investments the company has made and its innovative technologies coupled with outstanding products and service. Taylor prides itself on offering services to support us as if they are a seamless extension of our own operations.

In response to the growing demand for Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), Taylor Steel installed a new AHSS slitter in 2013 that can efficiently slit AHSS according to customer requirements. At a recent event to show off the slitter, company owner Mike Taylor noted that the firm was the only service centre in North America to have this advanced machinery and capability.

The new technology, along with existing state-of-the-art processing equipment and the company’s ability to process all of our steel products, means that Taylor Steel is a valuable customer and partner for ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

Recently Taylor President and CEO John MacDonald spoke with 1 Magazine about our work together and how we can continue to provide the best products and services in the industry.

John thank you for talking to us to explain what you look for when selecting a steel manufacturer and your experiences in working with our team.

Q: We’ve been doing business together for a long time. What is the key to a successful 47-year partnership?

A: Both companies have always been philosophically and culturally aligned. I believe this is what has provided the foundation for a unique spirit of cooperation. Consistently satisfying customer needs/wants gives us both the longevity.

Q: Are there services or products that ArcelorMittal Dofasco provides that make your relationship with us unique?

A: Similar to ArcelorMittal Dofasco, we too strive to satisfy your/our customer’s most critical

requirements. Superior surface quality and innovative steel grades has set your company apart from most of its competition.

Q: On your website it states: “What matters most is our ability to process and deliver the best quality, steel product to our customers, on time, at the least possible cost.” How does ArcelorMittal Dofasco help you reach those goals?

A: Key to a smooth supply chain is to start with a consistent supply and quality of product. From there, we constantly refine our process to eliminate wasted movements or inefficiencies. Any deviation from the optimal process will add cost. ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s on-time delivery is critical for us to reach our goals.

Q: Supplying high quality steel is obviously the number one role ArcelorMittal Dofasco plays in supporting Taylor Steel. Are there other Dofasco services that you utilize and rely on to ensure your customer satisfaction and

innovation objectives are met?

A: ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s ‘S in Motion presentation’ in 2011 is an example of an impactful event. Following your presentation we were convinced of the lasting need for Advanced High Strength Steel

and embarked on engineering new equipment capable of satisfying your/our customer’s future needs. Commissioned in January 2013, we will be on a 3 Shift rotation in the coming months.

Q: What are the qualities you are looking for in choosing steel suppliers?

A: In addition to consistency of supply, quality, and fair price, the breadth of products and grades available are important as are proximity to our plants and the financial health of the supplier.

Q:How can ArcelorMittal Dofasco help Taylor Steel prepare for future market demands?

A: Environmental requirements and competing non-steel products will play a larger role in our steel future. Perhaps more than ever open communication with the specifications of future grades of steel needs to be done. As we ask steel products to be more formable and higher strength (at the same time), unique challenges will be presented to those who process the steel. Communication will be the key!

Q: What do you want ArcelorMittal Dofasco employees to know about Taylor Steel and your work with our company?

A: Taylor Steel has always had a strong deep-rooted commitment to quality, technical innovation, and service to ArcelorMittal Dofasco. Regardless of the market cycle, Taylor Steel has proven that it will guarantee the necessary processing capacities to satisfy your most demanding customer. Similarly, on the steel purchase side, Taylor Steel has been a consistent long-standing customer of your value added products.

Hauling in the hardwareMarch and April 2014 saw ArcelorMittal win some of the industry’s most significant awards for the Automotive sector, including from Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Automotive News. From customer satisfaction and quality, innovation and supply chain partnership to young talent, our company came out on top.The recognition was kick-started in March with Ford Motor Company’s number one Business Unit Review rating for ArcelorMittal. The ratings are conducted twice each year in 8 categories that cover quality, delivery, commercial and technical areas. ArcelorMittal has achieved and maintained its number one position overall since 2011. The success is not by chance, as Peter Bilenki, Global Account Manager for Ford shares the strategy behind the success: “Specific action plans are

strategically developed to address deficiencies, as well as improve overall performance in areas where we already excel. There are core teams that focus on various aspects of the rating, but the success is attributed to the entire organization. Quality and delivery account for 50 per cent of the rating and success can only be achieved by the focus to detail throughout the manufacturing, quality and commercial departments. The same goes for our technical group that is focused

on co-engineering projects, cost savings and product development.”

In early April, General Motors also acknowledged ArcelorMittal for its outstanding products and services by honouring the company with the 2013 Supplier of the Year award and the Overdrive Award. The Overdrive is one of only four awards given to suppliers that go above and beyond to bring exceptional, unprecedented supplier value to GM. In a news release, Grace Lieblein, GM vice president, Global

Purchasing and Supply Chain reinforced ArcelorMittal’s support for GM: “Our suppliers play an important role in helping GM deliver compelling vehicles to our customers. ArcelorMittal has an outstanding track record for consistently meeting our business needs, while also supporting our cultural priorities.”

The sweep was completed with two coveted Automotive News Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence Awards (PACE) won in

partnership with Honda and Magna for the development of the world’s first laser-welded, hot-stamped door ring (the steel that the door closes into). The ring, which can be found in the 2014 Acura MDX, contributed to significant weight savings as well as improved safety.

Rounding out the Automotive sweep was the naming of Hamilton’s Erin Wormald (Product Research, Automotive Applications) to the Automotive News 40 Under 40 list. The annual list honours the brightest rising

stars in North America’s Automotive OEM and supplier industry. Erin was recognized for her work with Toyota including leading the rollout of the S-in motion suite of Automotive steels and solutions (see page 7, Awards and Accolades).

The awards recognize the efforts and achievement of everyone at ArcelorMittal and are a testament to our core belief that Our strength is people™. Congratulations!

Our recent recognition from both Ford and General Motors is a nod to our entire ArcelorMittal Dofasco team – from managing the delivery of raw materials to putting the finishing galvanizing touches on our automotive steels and everything that happens in between, every step of the process is key to meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations.

In February, the Canadian Blood Services Agency presented ArcelorMittal Dofasco with its Partners for Life Award. The honour recognizes organizations for meeting and exceeding their annual blood donation goals. Reflecting their dedication to those in need, our employees made 792 donations of blood in 2013. This very personal and precious gift helped dozens of patients recover from surgery, accidents or prolonged illnesses. Congratulations donors!

For the first time on record suppliers and contractors of ArcelorMittal Dofasco achieved one full year without a lost time injury. The milestone occurred on February 11th and days without a lost time injury are still accumulating (as of publishing time)! Through an emphasis on outreach and accountability combined with an increased vigilance from all employees in ‘treating third parties like our own’ – together we have achieved a major step forward.

In March, ArcelorMittal Dofasco was selected as a finalist for Horizon Utilities 2014 Energy Savings Champions awards. The awards recognize companies that have made a significant contribution to energy conservation and demand management. Horizon Utilities acknowledgment included the following: “Arcelor Mittal Dofasco has one of the most innovative, productive and empowered workforces in North America. The F.H. Sherman Recreation and Learning Centre was formed in 1943 as part of ArcelorMittal’s commitment to their employees and their community to promote wellness and sports and to provide learning activities for families. The [Centre’s] gymnasium was retrofitted with the replacement of 1,000 watt metal halide lights with new 160 watt LED fixtures, to save 28 kilowatts and 151,080 kilowatt hours of energy annually.”

Congratulations to Jeff Aultman (Information Systems) and Phil Read (CTS HVAC Maintenance) on being selected by the ArcelorMittal Foundation to participate in the

Solidarity Holidays 2014 program. This once-in-a-lifetime program offers ArcelorMittal employees the opportunity to spend part of their annual vacation volunteering in a Foundation project overseas. Jeff is on tap to travel to Liberia to join a volunteer work project, while Phil will be off to Poland.

colleagues. Go Kirsten! Go Canada!

Employee Donations Fund campaign>

Generations of ArcelorMittal Dofasco employees have made a difference through the Employee Donations Fund.The Employee Donations Fund has embarked on a campaign to have everyone at ArcelorMittal Dofasco participate by donating bi-weekly. The Corporate Community Investment Fund Committee has also gotten behind the campaign, pledging to match all new or increased donations for 2014, up to $100,000.

Shannon Clark, Campaign Co-Chair [email protected]

For more than 70 years, employees have been contributing to the Employee Donations Fund (EDF) at Dofasco. Through our donations, more than $40 million has been invested in our Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara area communities. Last year, the EDF invested more than $400,000 into our community.

From breakfast programs and camp opportunities to funding for community organizations, employees have created a legacy of making a difference and changing lives.

The goal of our Membership Campaign is to engage every

employee – for all of us to participate in the Employee Donations Fund and work together to continue the legacy of the approximately 50,000 people who have worked at Dofasco over our more than 100 year history. We want to ensure that we continue to invest in our community now and in the future.

There are more than 35 per cent of employees participating in the EDF and the campaign to increase that number to 100 per cent kicked off on March 4th and will run through to the beginning of June. Becoming a member is easy and when we all contribute a little, it adds up to a lot. When you fill out a payroll deduction form, your bi-weekly donation will automatically be made in your name. Your donations are tracked for you on your T4 slip for easy claiming at income tax time. The

Employee Donations Fund does not charge any administration fees so all of your donations are provided directly to the charities the EDF supports. The Employee Donations Fund is administered by the elected members of the Fund Advisory Committee.

Please consider helping us continue this legacy of community giving. Consider becoming a member of the Employee Donations Fund and joining the generations of employees who have made a difference. Sign a pledge card and make a commitment to make a difference. If you are already involved, share with others why you are a member and encourage them to sign up too.

To learn more contact one of the campaign co-chairs: Ron Bannister (ext. 6555) or Shannon Clark (ext. 2035). Diana Wong prepares food in the Wesley Urban Ministries kitchen. The Employee Donations Fund presented

Wesley and five other local foodbanks with $10,000 each just in time for the Easter holiday.

Team Orange members volunteered their time and talents to help Bereaved Families of Ontario with their largest fundraiser event of the year, the Dads 4 Dads Ultimate Chef Competition. Amateur home chefs compete against each other to win the best-tasting dish. Our volunteers helped set up cooking booths, tasted the entries and promoted awareness of the event to support Bereaved Families of Ontario, Hamilton and Burlington. Joining Team Orange to help entertain the crowd was the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Pipe Band which performed throughout the competition. Putting their taste buds to good use are (from left): Richard Aranha (Hot Mill Technology), Cody Lynch (Human Resources) and Greg McFarlane (Cold Roll / Tin Technology).

Team Orange helps build housing for deserving local families

Team Orange volunteers donated their skills, time and enthusiasm to help build Habitat for Humanity’s Burton Street Project this spring. Their efforts continue the tradition of Team Orange being one of the biggest volunteer partners for the organization with more than 2000 volunteer hours put towards building homes over the past three years. In addition, ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s Corporate Community Investment Fund has been one of Hamilton’s Habitat for Humanity’s largest benefactors. In support of the program, Cheryl Brookes-Gratton (Treasury), demonstrates her craftsmanship and installs a stud on a safety beam. Meanwhile, Phil Read (HVAC) cuts a floor board as Gord Eaves (Commercial) looks on.

Building on their construction skills, Team orange volunteers added personal touches to the Mark Preece House in late February. Named in honour of Dr. Mark Preece, a respected physician who died in 1997 at only 38 years of age, this hospital family house is a “home away from home” for families of critical care patients being treated at Hamilton area hospitals. This accessible and affordable accommodation provides hope and healing for families who are from out of town and are experiencing stressful and uncertain circumstances regarding the health of their hospitalized loved ones. Team Orange helped setup guest rooms and common area spaces on the homes new second floor. The new second floor addition was made possible by a grant from ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s Corporate Community Investment Fund. Here, Brian Roberts (Health and Safety) installs a wall plug which will hold a mirror in one of the family guest rooms while Jim Murray (Health and Safety) looks on.

At a recent Blood Donor clinic on site, we had a special ambassador join us. Connor McGee, 20, son of Kim McGee (Cokemaking) benefitted from donated blood as he battled a brain tumour in 2011. Connor wore his beads of bravery to the clinics which symbolize all of the procedures he endured during his treatment. He talked with donors and acts as a spokesperson for Canadian Blood Services Bravery Bead Program. Kim’s colleagues hosted a BBQ to raise funds for the family to help with the treatments and offered support throughout. Kim says: “I lived at McMaster Hospital with him for many days. Connor said to me ‘If I’m here then you are here too Mom’ so I slept in a cot by his bed. I think it was around 97 days in total that we slept at the hospital. Everyone at work was absolutely wonderful and gave me any kind of support I needed. I was able to attend all of Connor’s visits with the oncologists and I was with him for all Radiation and Chemo treatments.” Connor’s cancer has been in remission for 22 months.

Giving the gift of life and offering support to colleagues in need

Each year, ArcelorMittal Dofasco welcomes spring with a tulip sale to raise funds for The Lung Association, McMaster Region. The association recommends purchasing tulips because they are non-allergenic and low fragrance, which means they can be enjoyed by everybody, including those with lung disease- Canada’s most prevalent chronic illness. Proceeds from Tulip Day fund the Ontario Lung Association’s mission to provide research programs as well as helping people with lung diseases. Supporting the cause are (from left): Janet Czepiel (Automotive Sales) and Don MacVicar (Construction Sales) as they purchase tulips from Sandy Lee (The Lung Association, McMaster Region).

> Corporate Responsibility

Ours was the largest corporate team in the 2014 Around the Bay Road Race in support of St. Joseph’s Healthcare. We had 109 enthusiastic racers, runners and walkers!

Terry Phillips (Coke Maintenance) brought home a strong 5 km performance.

Brian Nelson (Research) was among more than 30 Team Orange members competing in the 30 km race either individually or as part of a relay team. Here teammate Mike Stiller (Consuming Industries Products) who completed the 15 km leg of the two person relay congratulates Brian on his finish.

Richard Do [email protected]

It all began three years ago, when a group of Team Orange members ran in the Around the Bay Road Race. The day has since grown into an impressive annual display of support for St. Joseph’s Healthcare. This year, Team Orange had the largest corporate team at the race with 109 runners and raised $23,000 for St. Joseph’s Healthcare.

Team Orange members came together to set many personal bests, while having a great time watching others finish, enjoying the post race reception and taking the time to be together.

Thank you to everyone who braved the early spring weather and ran in the 5km, 30km or relay teams and to those who cheered on Team Orange on from the sidelines. And, congratulations to the entire team on another outstanding effort and result!

Three cheers for Team Orange!Our community spirit was in full force on Sunday, March 30 when 109 Team Orange members took to the streets to walk, run, and race for their Personal Best and St. Joseph’s Healthcare.
