ASHTABULA — It may have been windy and a bit rainy Thursday, but many area business people were basking in sunshine.

Availability to more than a dozen vendors, door prizes, an enthusiastic guest speaker and a delicious catered dinner created a warm atmosphere for the Ashtabula County Safety Council’s annual awards banquet held Thursday afternoon at the Andrus Party Center. The event was sponsored by the Ashtabula County Joint Vocational School and presented by Ashtabula County Safety Council and the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.

Luke Sawicki, president of the Safety Council’s board of trustees, welcomed the crowd of more than 225 people.

“We have a record crowd today,” said Michelle Francisco, senior manager, Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Division of Safety and Hygiene. “This is the first time it’s ever sold out.”

The guest speaker Brad Hunt, who is a veteran environmental health and safety consultant, talked on the use of appropriate business management principles to reduce risk, create operational efficiencies and control costs.

Andy Laituri of Ashta Chemicals won Dixon Greenwood Award. This award was created in honor of Dixon Greenwood, supervisor of operations and a safety engineer at Union Carbide for nearly 33 years. Since 1979, He has been instrumental in developing and growing the Ashtabula County Safety Council.
