Starcon’s ExxonMobil Joliet Team: Seven Years Without a Recordable Injury By Jonathan Jones Quality, Planning, Knowledge, Performance, and Execution are great buzzwords in our industry. But at ExxonMobil Joliet, these buzzwords are expectations, and the Starcon team members at the Joliet jobsite deliver everyday. “Our team members out here really care about the job they have to do and how they do it,” said Ben Thayer, site manager for Starcon at ExxonMobil’s Joliet Refinery. “When you start out
with that level of commitment, it’s really easy to get the job done safely.” Starcon Field Supervisor Aron Ceglarek summed it up this way: “We just want to do a good job every day and keep the client satisfied. The only way to accomplish that goal is to do your whole job right, from planning it to executing it safely. That’s it, that’s all it takes.” With the level of growth and increased activity for Starcon at the ExxonMobil jobsite, it is a small miracle that the site can keep all they do in check. The base crew of about 25 team
members at ExxonMobil has grown into more Capital and Turn Around work, not to mention pre-existing daily maintenance duties, all because of the team members’ leadership and dedication to performing work safely. So, going seven years without a recordable is very significant. ExxonMobil Joliet is one of Starcon’s oldest worksites. Building on this foundation, it is easy to see how this team can achieve “Beyond Zero” performance every day.
Starcon’s Toys For Tots Fundraiser By Brian Miller The first annual STAR-Classic charity golf scramble benefitting Toys for Tots was held on July 31st at the Legends Golf Club in Massillon, Ohio. Twenty-nine teams of four came together on a picture perfect summer day to continue the Starcon Canton site’s yearly support of this great charity. From the WWII era Toys for Tots jeep, to the $1,000 hole-inone challenge, the day was filled with fun and excitement. $3,200 and dozens and dozens of toys were donated through a portion of each entry fee, hole sponsors from our industry partners, a 50/ 50 drawing, and the sale of team mulligans. The event planners and the entire Legends staff made it a first class event that everyone is already committed to continuing next year! PAGE 11
