At Peace River Coal Safety is Paramount
- trehbein on 07 Mar 11
  
  Could be made more readable, such as: At Peace River Coal, Safety Is Paramount.' By putting a comma in, and ending with a period, it might make a bolder, more thought-out looking statement.

  Ethos: Exemplifying this proud moment causes the reader to see more respectability in the company. This is not exactly using the company's pre-existing reputation to make a point believable, but it is making a believable point about how the company should be respected by using examples that appeal to the reader's view of the company overall.

We recognize that our strength as a company resides in the men and women who contribute to our business.
- trehbein on 07 Mar 11
  
  Logos: The logical statement here implies that happy, healthy workers contribute more strength to the company itself than unhappy, injured ones, so this statement clearly states that it's in the best interests of the company to keep everyone safe. This is something that the reader can take and agree with at face value because it's an honest, logical statement.

Sometimes the terms in which lawyers and courts communicate are unfamiliar or alienating to users outside of the legal profession. Moreover, even within the legal field, there can be a range of opinions about which terms are most appropriate.
