| So
far this year we are doing much better with our insurance
claims and safety compliance overall. Our insurance claims,
and therefore claims costs, are down from last year. If we
continue to thinks safety and watch out for one another this
will be our best year in a long time. We are about half way
through the season so let’s not have a let down for the
second half of the season. Keep up the good safe work.
We
have stressed employee accountability for their own safety
over the last few months and there are a lot of supervisors
and employees that have taken this seriously. I have seen
supervisors and employees go above and beyond the required
safety rules to show their commitment and leadership when it
comes to their safety. Most of our supervisors take safety
seriously and follow safety policies and procedures on a
daily basis and I would like to congratulate all of you for
a job well done.
Most
of our locations and crews have been turning in “Tool Box
Talks” on a weekly basis. This is excellent because it
keeps safety on the minds of all the employees and shows the
commitment of Management to safety. The topics of the “Tool
Box Talks” have been geared toward things that apply to
what’s going on throughout the company and the industry,
which makes the talks more interesting for the employees.
Keep up the good work guys!
I
feel our “Safety Culture” is improving in most areas but
we still have a lot of room for improvement. Have you done
your “Job Safety Analysis” yet? What have you done this
year to improve safety in your department? It’s your job
to be safe everyday at work and at home!!
Remember
our Mission Statement is “To Safely Do Everything We Do
Better Than Anyone Else”. |
