KellerOnline(R) Announces 2007 Safety Professional of the Year

NEENAH, Wis.--(Business Wire)--J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc., the nation's most respected name
in risk and regulatory management, has named Dan Ryan, of Veolia Water
North America in Dayton, Ohio, as the 2007 KellerOnline(R) Safety
Professional of the Year (SPOTY). The SPOTY award is sponsored by
KellerOnline(R), the most widely used safety management tool on the
web.

Ryan, Vice President of Environmental, Health, Safety and Security
(EHS&S) for the nation's largest services provider for municipal and
industrial water and wastewater systems and facilities, was chosen
after creating a safety culture that is unsurpassed in the water and
wastewater industry. Veolia Water North America posted their best
employee safety statistics for a calendar year, beating the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) for private-industry water, wastewater and
other systems by more than 200 percent. Their recordable incident rate
was 4.1 compared to the BLS industry average of 7.6 and their
lost-time-incident rate was 0.7 compared to the BLS average of 2.3.

Veolia Water North America employs some 2,700 people and works
with more than 270 municipal and industrial customers. Ryan believes
that policies and procedures are the cornerstone of a safety program,
but they are also typically the least effective component toward
accident reduction. He says, "A safety program's ultimate success or
failure relies on employee involvement, accountability and management
commitment - demonstrated through leadership-by-example from the
president to the front-line supervisor. At Veolia Water we have that."

Ryan will receive a $2,500 cash award during a ceremony planned in
Neenah, Wisconsin, along with a plaque, certificate, and multiple one
year subscriptions to KellerOnline for himself and others in his
organization.

Chris Seider, Environmental Health & Safety Manager for Burger
Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, was awarded second place. Six
years ago, the incident rate at his company was 37.7 with a DART rate
of 31.1. Since then, he has worked to change the safety culture at
Burger Boat Company to improve their incident rate to 7.5 and DART
rate to 4.8, below the industry standard of 12.1 and 6.1 respectively.

Seider will receive a $500 cash award, a plaque, certificate and a
one-year subscription to KellerOnline.

Mike Martin, Safety Director for S&S Transport Inc. in Grand
Forks, North Dakota, was awarded third place. His efforts included
decreasing the overall accident rate for his organization to 1% while
increasing the fleet size by more than 20 trucks. He will also receive
a plaque, certificate, and one-year subscription to KellerOnline,
along with a $50 cash award.

Nearly 100 safety professionals submitted entries for
KellerOnline's 6th Annual SPOTY award. "This year's winners have done
outstanding things with their respective safety programs and built
cultures within their organizations that helped them to beat the odds
in their industries," said Rustin Keller, Corporate Internet Products
Manager for J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. "KellerOnline is proud to
support these and all other dedicated safety professionals in the most
important job - safety."
