Summary
Sign for the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd 'Fit Pit', located in the Amenities building, Building 9, where a gymnasium and health centre was located so employees could exercise and keep track of their general health. Health and fitness initiatives were encouraged by the organisation - there were many sports teams, walking tracks and medical facilities available for employee use at the Coburg site. This sign was taken from the factory site before it was decommissioned in 2005. Production ceased in 2004.
