I received a call from Joe Bigalke yesterday, requesting pricing for work in September. During the conversation, I asked Joe how we did with the projects we completed. He said we did a great job as usual and then expounded on the cleaning of the WESP. They have never seen it this clean since the day it was installed, and the subsequent performance of the WESP was at a level like a brand-new unit. He went on to say, we couldn’t have been happier with the crew ’ s performance.

June Safety Awards

Jay Guilliam Jr - Wrote a good near loss

Did you know we have a safety sticker program?! Hard hat safety stickers are earned by being thorough and safe everyday on the job. There are even prizes for earning them!

With the extreme heat we are experiencing today and the next couple of days. Let’s make sure we are staying Hydrated with water and a sport drinks. 3 waters to one sports drink. If not working from a cab with AC, make sure you are getting in the shad or in a cool area every 30 minutes max. Rest 15 minutes.

If a person is starting to feel sick get the person in a cool vehicle or shelter right away to cool off If need be, cut the workday off early to get personnel out of the hottest part of day Suggest, if possible, start work early work and end work early in this heat.

Look out for each and talk with each other to know your coworker is doing okay in this heat.

Let’s all stay safe
