Scaffolding Group Awarded “Beaumont’s Best” Award Corpus Christi, Texas – Turner scaffolding employees, part of Turner’s SIPA (scaffolding, insulation, painting, and abatement) group, were recently awarded “Beaumont’s Best” EPC-1 crew of the week award at the Gulf Coast Growth Venture (GCGV) project.

This is the first issuance of the award, named in honor of Jeremy “Beaumont” Moore, a longtime Turner construction supervisor who sadly passed away recently. “Beaumont” set the highest health and safety expectations for his teams and truly “walked the walk” in the pursuit of excellence.

Shell Chemical Crew of the Month Mobile, Alabama – The July Crew of the Month at the Shell Mobile site was a maintenance crew consisting of Rodney (Pee-Wee) Hale, Clifford Hogensen, Donald Hyde II and Steven Doherty.

“This Crew is on top of their game utilizing our safety cultures, supporting our Client with quality craftsmanship and with the commitment of doing things right,” said Maintenance and Turnaround Manager Roy Ellis.

Stop Work Authority in Action One day in August, Turner scaffolder Manuel Madrigal identified several issues with another contractor’s scaffolds. Manuel along with SIPA (scaffolding, insulation, painting, and abatement) quality control employee Darryl Monroe deemed the scaffolds unsafe for use and the “ready to use” scaffold tags were pulled.

Documentation of the findings was captured through photos and Olin’s contractor administrators were notified. Manuel and Darryl met with leadership from the contractor who owned the scaffolds, and they went over every deficiency so the findings could be addressed accordingly.

Olin Contract Administrator Mario Medeles recognized Manuel and Darryl for this stop work authority and said, “Not only were the appropriate steps taken when removing the ‘ready to use’ inserts from the scaffolds, but the follow up with the contractor could not have gone any better. Great coaching technique utilized by Turner even though it was not their equipment. Thanks to Manuel and Darryl and the Turner team for quickly identifying and addressing this issue.”

Texas City, Texas – Charlotte Wolfe is an alkylation unit PPE specialist for Turner working at the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery (GBR).

Charlotte has been a part of the Turner Team since 2015 and has been an integral part in day-to-day activities at GBR. When a medical emergency recently occurred in the Alkylation unit, Charlotte heard the emergency broadcast over the radio and immediately jumped into action preparing unit required PPE for all responding emergency personnel. In addition to setting up the responding personnel for success, she refused entry to the unit for anyone not associated with the medical team. Thanks to Charlotte’s actions, emergency responders were able to get to the injured employee without delay and risk of chemical exposure.

Following this awesome display of teamwork between contractor and client, Marathon conducted an exhaustive safety audit of the refinery safety practices, and Charlotte was recognized with a “Bring Your Game” coin by the Marathon Safety Department for perfect audit results.

Crew of the Week at Sasol Westlake, Louisiana – Turner would like to congratulate Mrs. Marie “Toni” Barron and her Sasol Site Services janitors with recognition as “Crew of the Week” in August.

Special thanks for all their hard work and dedication.

Turner Industries Receives Gold 2021 ABC STEP Award Founded in 1989 as a safety benchmarking and improvement tool, STEP has evolved into a world-class safety management system that dramatically improves safety performance among participants regardless of company size or type of work.

Participating ABC member firms measure their safety processes and policies on 25 key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incidents.

Pictured are Turner representatives in Corpus Christ accepting their award from the Texas Coastal bend Chapter.

Successful Stop Work at Shell Deer Park Deer Park, Texas – Turner’s Walking Working Surface (WWS) Team was recently tasked with replacing a broken staircase of a structure. Once the staircase was removed, they found additional problems which were not initially identified due to obstructions. Once the craft workers identified problems, they immediately stopped work and reported it to supervision and awaited further instructions. The supervisor recognized the problem and had the area barricaded off and contacted Shell’s team lead, as well as a drafter to start a plan of action for repairs. This was a great Stop Work Authority by our WWS team that potentially prevented a catastrophic accident.

Safe and Sound Week 2021 The week of August 9 - 15 was OSHA Safe + Sound Week, a nationwide event held each August recognizing the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offering information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe.

As in years prior, Turner Industries is a proud participant. This year, the focus was on hand safety. A PowerPoint presentation for each day of the week with a specific hand safety topic has been provided to sites which they will use during their daily toolbox meetings.

Innophos Receives Gold Award for Safe Railcar Loading Once again, the Innophos facility in Geismar, Louisiana has received the Canadian National Railway (CN) Safe Handling Award for their safe loading performance in 2020. CN monitors non-accidental releases (NARs) on railcars carrying dangerous goods/hazardous materials to determine eligibility. Last year, Innophos shipped 1,211 qualifying shipments and had zero NARs, qualifying us for the highestlevel award, the Gold Award. “This award is 100% attributed to our Turner loading personnel. They routinely follow our railcar loading procedures and take pride in their work, and this is the formula for their exemplary safety record year after year.

We appreciate their dedication and accept this award on their behalf,” said Innophos Production Manager Jim Guidry.

Launched in 1992, CN’s Safe Handling Award is presented to customers who load freight cars with dangerous goods and meet strict standards for the safe handling and shipment of regulated products. The winners must meet established criteria, according to the total number of shipments of dangerous goods for all facilities. The Safe Handling Award is an integral part of the Responsible Care Program.

Two Million OSHA Recordable Free Work Hours and Counting at Olin Freeport Turner Industries has been a nested contractor at Olin, Freeport, Texas site, since 2016. Within the site’s property lines there are three different Olin plant locations: Oyster Creek, Plant A and Plant B. At these three locations Olin manufactures Chlorine, Vinyl, Bleach and Epoxy. In addition to our nested maintenance contractor role, Turner has completed a successful Turnaround at the Plant B-1500 Tri-color Unit and provided a variety of associated services including SIPA soft crafts (scaffolding, insulation, paint abatement, inspections), rope access, industrial cleaning, crane and rigging, disinfecting services, and recently added janitorial services.

A culmination of those work efforts was realized in May of this year when Turner employees at the Olin Freeport site reached 2 million (and counting) OSHA recordable free work hours. This milestone, achieved collectively by all Turner services, was accomplished during the Covid-19 pandemic and Texas’ historic freeze.

On June 30, 2021 a luncheon to celebrate the milestone was held.

Attendees included Turner and Olin site employees, Turner and Olin executive management, and Olin support staff from Turner’s Freeport Regional office. The event logistics included planning two back-to-back events so that all 500 Turner employees could attend.

QUOTES FROM THE CELEBRATION “Consider the magnitude of two million hours of safe work. That is the equivalent of one person working 961 years without getting hurt. It means that 480 Turner people went home every day for 2 years as good as when they came to work. It is hard to imagine, but yet, you did it, one day at a time. You have my gratitude and my respect. Thank you.” – Al Cagle: Olin Maintenance Director

“The accomplishment of this team to reach 2-Million OSHA free work hours is something I am personally very proud to be a part of. I see firsthand the hard work that this team puts in daily so it’s no surprise to me that they have achieved such a milestone. The Turner Team at Olin Texas Operations truly embodies the “T.C.B” mentality. “T.C.B” stands for “Taking Care of Business” and this group has accomplished this goal by taking care of business each and every day!” – Ryan Beeson: Turner Site Manager Olin Freeport FALL 2021 7

WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT

On-site Fabrication Services Generate Major Cost Savings to Olin Freeport Freeport, Texas – Three years ago, Olin’s Epoxy-2 Work Area Coordinator, Brent Digby, set out to reduce Olin’s costs by performing pipe fabrication services with the Turner maintenance resources assigned to his area. The concept worked and to date, has delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings and even greater value in synergies created.

A group of nine Turner employees service all the Olin Epoxy business unit’s fabrication and welding needs, as well as meet the demands of small outages and pit stops, all with a very high success rate.

This Olin / Turner partnership has implemented a strong and efficient work process that has allowed the team to achieve high productivity while maintaining an impeccable safety record (zero injuries and zero incidents).

PLANNING The sketching crew, Ben Decker and Ryan Marshall, keep a close working relationship with the area engineers and technical advisors. They ensure the pipe spool drawings are complete and accurate.

FABRICATION Esli Hernandez, Piedad Villafana, Jose Reyes, Michael Jaster, and Larry Rodriguez are among the best in the business when it comes to fabrication. This team works hand in hand with sketching crew and QAQC to ensure all work is performed accurately and meets all quality standards.

QA/QC Quality control is handled by Russell Kennedy. He works closely with the welders, pipe fitters, sketchers, and the team’s Olin coordinator. Russell’s attention to detail and drive to stay ahead of jobs has resulted in zero downtime due to quality control.

PAINT

Rope Access Services Saves Client Time and Money

This past Spring, Turner Industries transitioned to site contractor at the Eastman facility in Pace, Florida. Today there are 33 Turner employees on-site providing a variety of services including scaffolding, painting, insulation, grounds keeping, environmental, civil work and inspections.

Recently the team was challenged with providing a thorough inspection of one of the site’s large columns. In years past scaffolding was part of this column’s inspection, but the Turner Specialty Service (TSS) inspection group brought a new solution to Eastman management – one that incorporates TSS rope access inspection services.

The Old Way In the past, the site’s normal process to inspect the column was to build a scaffold that encompasses the

six-foot diameter and 100-ft.-tall tower. Along with the dimension requirements, the scaffold would have to be built to accommodate 500 inspection points along the column that require access. This enormous scaffold requires over 1000 scaffold components along with an eight-day duration to construct and six-days disassemble. Because of obstacles from the scaffolding hindering the ability to access some of the 500 inspection points, the inspections duration had to be doubled which added additional project costs.

efficient method. Turner’s certified rope access inspectors completed the entire process in six days, saving our customer valuable time while eliminating the hazards of erecting such an immense scaffold. By using rope access the team mitigated hundreds of potential hazards, thoroughly inspected the column and at project’s end saved the client $40,000.

Proving once again that Turner is ONE SOLUTION for our client’s success.

Growing Our Footprint – Janitorial Services at Olin Freeport

This past August the Turner Industries team at Olin’s Chlor-Alkali facility in Freeport, TX increased their footprint by taking over all janitorial services on site. This new business increased site headcount by 26 employees who provide janitorial services to over 80 offices and buildings across the entire facility. The transition of this service to Turner has been seamless and is another testament that the Turner team at Olin, Freeport TX can provide one solution for our client’s success.

Innovative Designs Create Safer Working Environment In the refining industry, catalysts are used to convert heavy oil into valuable, distillable products. At the Shell Mobile site, catalysts are loaded into several different vessels approximately every two weeks. In this case, the granular catalysts come in “super sacks,” each sack weighing approximately 2,500 lbs. Super sacks are traditionally unloaded by lifting the sacks by their straps and then pulling a tether underneath the sack to untie the chute. However, after an unloading incident with a catalyst super sack in 2017, where one of the straps failed, a process to research other lifting solutions available on the market to safely unload catalyst super sacks was initiated.

Turner Planner Steven Gleason with the drawing for his invention.

Finding no current solutions on the market, Turner Industries Planner Steve Gleason pulled out his pen and paper and designed a double fail-safe device known at the Shell Mobile site as the “super sack holder,” which was approved and engineered by Shell.

Up until now, the super sack holder was the tool used for loading vessels safely, but recently, the catalyst sack design changed and the tether which was used to untie the sack was removed. Now, the only way to open the sacks required a person to get under the sack and untie the chute—an unsafe action.

Steven with the finished super sack holder, fabricated and approved by Shell.

When the site encountered the new sack design, all unloading was suspended until another safe solution was designed. With the approval and direction of Shell Maintenance Manager Steve Davis, Shell HSSE Manager Carl Kelly and Turner Site Manager Roy Ellis, Steve Gleason once again began to brainstorm to make the safety hazards associated with the catalyst unloading ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable).

His new idea was a “super sack holding stand” which could be bolted to flanges of different sizes. It also features a hatch door for safe access to the super sack unloading chute and funnel.

Super sack holder in action.

Again, Shell approved the design and had the device engineered and put into place. The two devices have proved not only to be critical assets to the site but have been called works of “safety art” and nicknamed Shell Mobile’s safety Picassos.

On September 15th, 2021, the Turner team at the Shell Mobile site celebrated three consecutive years recordable free, due in part to dedicated and innovative employees like Steve.

Setting the Pace at Shell Deer Park An early adapter of Turner’s Tablet applications, our employees at Shell Deer Park are setting the pace transitioning to digitalization where it matters most—in the field.

Tablets in Use: 154 Applications being utilized: JSAs, timesheets, PCS progress sessions, tracking delays, scaffold tracking, safety audits, and other daily forms needed for job activities.

Q & A with Andre Gautreaux, Project Controls / Project Manager, Houston Maintenance & Turnaround Division Who is using the tablets? Mainly front-line supervisors and the safety department.

When are the tablets used? Constantly! The safety department performs audits on the tablets throughout the day at the jobsite. Various craft groups use it throughout the day for creating JSAs, updating progress of the work, and completing timesheets each shift.

Have any benefits been realized since the tablets were implemented? The benefits are many, here is a quick summary: Safety: Using the tablets for timesheets, JSAs, and safety audits means our supervisors can spend more time in the field with their employees to ensure safe work practices are being followed. The more time we can be with our craft employees, the better safety performance we have seen across the site.

Real-Time Insights: Our supervisors have real time access to all work on site from their office. Supervisors can select any job which is currently in progress on the tablet to virtually audit and then follow-up in person.

Productivity: The tablets have increased employee productivity. There is no need to spend time traveling across the site to deliver paperwork multiple times a day; now everything is virtual and mobile.

Scaffolding: the scaffold tracking app gives us the GPS locations of each standing scaffold. This enhances our tracking and accountability with our client.

Dashboards: Lastly, all data from Turner tablet is integrated with PowerBI which enables real-time dashboards that are used to drive continuous improvement.

Alicia Trevino

Alicia Trevino has been with Turner Industries for eight years. Her Turner story begins with her accepting a job as Houston-area safety council coordinator while also finishing up her bachelor’s degree in accounting.

“To be honest, I knew I didn’t want to work in the accounting field, but I was too far into the program to switch majors. Right before graduation Darren Smith, my boss at the time, noticed the opening for the training team at the Pasadena, Texas office and thought it would be something I might like. I got the position and it was like the flip of a switch. I knew this was the career for me. I eventually got my Masters in Instructional Design and finished that degree in 2019.”

What makes Turner different from other places you’ve worked?

The sense of community. I have never worked for a company that is so involved in their community and actively willing to help others.

What is your role at Turner today, and what are your primary responsibilities?

I am currently a Trainer / Application Analyst. A major part of what our team does is provide training classes and support on Microsoft products as well as Turner’s custom applications for those who use the products. Our team also develops and maintains the online training hosted on our new Turner Training Academy.

Why was Turner the right fit for you?

The sense of camaraderie – it’s amazing.

Even coworkers who are not in my department, I have built some very strong friendships with them over the years.

What do you find most satisfying about your job?

The creative part of what we do is my absolute favorite. I love when we get a new project that allows us to build new trainings from scratch like how the lesson should flow and even what icons to use.

Talk to us about the Turner Tablet Applications, what would you like people to know?

thought the hard hat was just a cute joke because we work in the construction industry. But it is more than that. It is about being smart. You can’t achieve your goals if you don’t have the right equipment.

Top 3 Life Highlights (so far): Graduating with my master’s degree in Instructional Design, Having our Dream wedding in Niagara Falls, and becoming a mom.

This has been such a fun project to support. It has helped evolve paper processes into something new by turning them digital. When we host a training session for Turner Tablet Applications, I always hear from the users about how much time it has saved them on-site which is always a huge plus!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

My family is my number one priority. My husband Jose and I have a two-year-old son, Yamir, so we spend most of our free time chasing a toddler around. We also love video games and board games. If we have a free weekend, we try to have our family over for dinner and boardgame nights.

What is the best advice you have ever received?

Break the glass ceiling, but don’t forget your hard hat. When I first was told that I TURNER INDUSTRIES Company Magazine
