“We’re a family-owned business and we treat our employees like family,” Bob said. “Actually, some of our family members also work in our business. We spend so much time together that it allows us to build closer relationships with the people who work for us, and I think it makes us have a good team spirit within the company.”

For 25 years, BCI has worked hard to invest in their employees and found value in the educational offerings of Bay Area SMACNA, particularly the Project Management Certification course. They’ve also taken advantage of the Summer Intern Program, and have hired several of their past interns after they completed college.

In 2023, BCI is excited to celebrate 30 years in business.

RECAP | September 27 ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND MORE COVERED IN SAFETY SEMINAR

The CAL SMACNA 2022 sheet metal industry safety seminar presented by Steve Bowers, CSP was well attended by our Bay Area members. The agenda covered Cal-OSHA and AB 685 COVID-19 updates with best practices and what is required on reporting, safety plans and notifying employees.

The hot topic of the seminar was the NFPA 70E arc flash prevention and electrical safety in the workplace. The number one cause of injuries is failing to lock and tag out. Awareness and training helps decrease those injuries from happening. Reviewing your safety plan and making sure you stay compliant with training every three years were some of the top reminders, along with making sure your employees are qualified to use the equipment they are using.
