January's Winner!

by Dave Rauch

I’m thrilled to announce our Best of ProTec winner for January—Marcos Brambila from Dept. 160!

Marcos received a huge shout-out from one of our community managers, who was beyond impressed with his dedication. She raved about his deep knowledge of past and present projects and his consistency in walking the property every week to ensure we’re addressing issues promptly.

She also praised his professional, polite, and approachable demeanor, saying:

“A big thank you to Marcos for his dedication and all the hard work he does!”

I couldn’t agree more! Congratulations, Marcos! Your commitment and hard work don’t go unnoticed.

Exciting Update to the Safety Bonus Plan!

by Mark Adams

We’re making a big change to the safety bonus plan! Instead of the current $25 check after 30 safe days, we’re introducing a raffle system with even bigger rewards.

Here’s how it works:

If we hit:

✅ 30 days safe → 20 winners of $100 net checks

✅ 60 days safe → 20 winners of $200 net checks

✅ 90+ days safe → 20 winners of $300 net checks

What resets our safe count?

❌ Lost Time Incident – Employee is unable to return to work the next day.

❌ Non-Reporting – Injury or accident wasn’t reported on the same day.

❌ At-Fault Vehicle Accident – Employee is responsible for a vehicle accident.

❌ Safety Violation with Injury – A safety rule violation led to an injury or accident.

This new system keeps safety the top priority while making it even more rewarding. The goal remains the same—a safe workplace for everyone. Click here to check out the flyer. It will be posted in all offices and on the ProTec Portal soon!

Don’t Skip Your Breaks!

by Cecilia Gonzalez

We know how busy the day can get, but don’t forget to take your breaks!

• Lunch: Make sure to take your 30-minute lunch before the end of your 5th hour.
• Rest Breaks: You get two 10-minute breaks—one in the first half of your shift and one in the second.

Breaks help you stay refreshed and keep things running smoothly. So step away, grab a bite, stretch your legs, and come back ready to roll. 

The Safety Pledge at Work – ProTecians Commit to Safety

by Dave Rauch

For the second month in a row, I’ll be visiting safety meetings to reaffirm my commitment—and ProTec’s—to maintaining a safe workplace. You’ll also have the chance to pledge your dedication to safety.

This month, I’ll be stopping by departments 10, 50, 160, and 535 to hand out safety coins and make our pledge together. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
