BrightFields, Inc.

Today, BrightFields held its annual OSHA HAZWOPER refresher training. This full-day event is always a highlight for our employees. The day kicked off with a delicious breakfast extravaganza, affectionately known as “Bacon with a Side of Breakfast.” After fueling up, we delved into HAZWOPER and HAZCOM training, covering the latest requirements and the importance of these safety protocols. To keep the energy high, for lunch this year, we indulged in a deep-fried turkey feast with all the trimmings and a friendly sandwich-making competition. The delicious meal provided the perfect boost for the remainder of the training session. Thanks to Jeff Vance, Dan Hartnett, Chris Hartnett, Jason "Dez" Dzedzy, Manny Perez and Casey Hoffman for breakfast! Thank you Tom McCracken, for deep frying the turkey and the homemade potato chips, and to all that contributed to the pot luck! *Sandwich contest winners: 1st place - Craig Olsen 2nd place (tie) - Nick Bradley and Marian Young

Today we honor our Veterans. Thank you!

Companies often try to find the words to describe their culture. We at BrightFields often describe ours as a team, or a family. But those words don't fully capture the wonderful hearts of our people. In the days following Hurricane Helene's devastation, our employees created a donation drive and on October 12th, we shipped 14 boxes full of much needed items to Western North Carolina to help those affected by the hurricane. THIS is BrightFields! BrightFields is people coming together to help those whom they may have never met when they need it most. We are a firm dedicated to making the community and those around us better than we found them.  We truly are Team BrightFields!

Congratulations Kathy! https://lnkd.in/esA_G3Bx
