Good Catch / Near Miss WINNERS of the Month

We have been receiving an increased number of good catches in the past couple of months - and would like to thank you all for your continued participation.

It was very difficult to decide on just one Good Catch winner of the month… so we have decided to present two awards for the month of October!

The two award winners have been part of Casella Construction for a long time and are doing their part to keep driving our company’s safety program forward. Everyone’s willingness to participate in the program is what helps to make it a success and improve our culture of safety.

Check out our two October Good Catch winners of the month below!

Congrats, Howard Biathrow!

Howard observed a bubble on one of the hoses on a set of torches in the Mendon repair shop. The bubble was due to fatigue in the torch hoses just below the crimp.

He tagged out the torches and got what was needed to replace the hose. The bubble would have made the torches susceptible to leaking gas and ignition.

Great work Howard, thank you for your diligence!

Congrats, Rodney Watkins!

Brian Rossier and Rodney Watkins were moving a piece of pipe while an excavator operator was digging to the side of them. The excavator came up with a big bucket of dirt on their blind side, and Rodney sounded the horn immediately to alert the operator, which helped avoid an accident.

Great catch Rodney! Thank you for acting so quickly.
