?? #Safety is a top priority. It’s part of our culture, and when it comes to our employee-owners on our projects — it’s always personal. And #TrenchSafetyMonth is no exception. ?? Look, #Trenchwork is dangerous. Cave-ins can cause serious injuries. It’s crucial our crews follow the U.S. Department of Labor's #OSHA guidance and keep close to exceptional training programs. That’s why we’re joining the NUCA: National Utility Contractors Association to bring more attention to safe trenching. A robust #SafetyCulture makes all the difference across the industry. As we uphold #EverySecondSafely, we will continue to strive to get work done safely — because getting home to see those who matter most is what it’s all about. ?? https://bit.ly/3x69XWs

HALCOR 's Fourth Deep Clean was successfully completed: Operational Excellence & Team Synergy #EvolvingBeyondCopper What is the Deep Clean Event: Deep Clean is a pivotal event under the BEST IWS program aimed at training #HalcorTeam to identify and resolve equipment defects, ensuring?restoration to base condition. This industrial excellence initiative elevates our standards, fostering team cohesion, enhancing equipment ownership, deepening knowledge, and improving diagnostic capabilities. Our focus extends to: Inspect equipment to find critical defects, that could potentially lead to future equipment failure. The maintenance team collaborates with Production to prioritize and resolve these defects, serving as one of the major goals of the DEEP CLEAN. Additionally, it aims to foster better communication between different departments and production developing operators’ and leaders’ understanding, of the equipment. Servant leadership is also enhanced through supportive engagement, with managers actively involved in cleaning, inspecting equipment, and assisting the #HalcorTeam. Health and Safety measures: During the process all Health & Safety rules were applied. An induction safety toolbox was upheld with reference to the hazards and safety precautions throughout the specific task and proper Personal Protective Equipment were provided to protect #HalcorTeam. Together, we are evolving beyond copper towards the future of Halcor, one Deep Clean at a time.

Working in trenches can be hazardous due to the risk of potential collapse, falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and hazards from mobile equipment. NUCA (The National Utility Contractors Association) and OSHA will hold a Trench Safety Stand-Down from June 17-23, 2024, to address these dangers. This initiative aims to inform workers about trenching, excavation, and safety procedures. As part of this effort, NCDOL will conduct free webinars. Additionally, numerous free resources to participate can be found at nuca.com/tssd. Feel free to contact us for safety training or more information about safety procedures for working in and around trenches. Let's make #TrenchSafetyMonth impactful and effective! ?? #TrenchSafety #WorkplaceSafety

Fuels and Combustion System Hazards 101," Thank you ASSP (American Society of Safety Professionals), for inviting me to speak at the August Monthly Meeting, Thursday evening, August 22nd in Sandusky.

If your company owns or operates any facility that uses fuel for heating or processes—whether it's furnaces, boilers, or ovens—this is a session you won’t want to miss. I’ll break down the critical safety information in a straightforward, practical way that you can apply immediately to help protect your facility from potential disasters. ?? What I'll Cover: Essential safety practices to prevent fuel-related hazards. Real-life stories from dozens of explosions and fires where I've helped identify root causes and provided direction for reconstruction. Codes & Standards you should know about and refer to moving forward.
