New This Year:
Equipment & Truck Rodeo!
Following Safety Day presentations, join us for a family BBQ - and enjoy our first EQUIPMENT & TRUCK RODEO!
We will have obstacle courses set up for our operators and drivers to navigate through, where they can show off their skills and compete in timed/skill-focused events.
Check out CAT's version of this to get an idea of what to expect:
Who do you want to see compete in the Equipment & Truck Rodeo?
Start thinking about who should participate in the rodeo! In next week's newsletter, you'll get to learn about the obstacle challenges, and then nominate the drivers and operators you want to see compete!
And One For the Kids!
We'll also have obstacle courses for the kids to participate in! They'll have fun operating remote-controlled equipment in special challenges. Trophies will be awarded to the winners!
Pinch point hazards are not always easily identified on a construction site. You must be aware of everything that could potentially put you at risk for an injury.
Some common places on a job site for pinch point injuries can include:
A pair of pliers
Excavator
Concrete blocks
Unsecured materials
Chains and pipes
Machinery
Truck Doors
Can you answer the question from this week's safety discussion?
What are some safety controls you can practice to avoid pinch point injuries?
Only turn away from a machine that is on or coasting if you are sure it is safe
