Fishing Pro Update

Chris Adams followed up his first event three days later with the American Bass Anglers Open Series

The tournament took place on Lake Champlain out of Ticonderoga, New York.

Chris weighed a five-fish limit of 19.3 pounds of smallmouth bass.

Chris finished in 4th place, out of 88 anglers! This tournament paid 17 places, so Chris finished strong!

Great job, Chris! We're all rooting for you, thanks for representing Casella Construction so well!

Event Postponed

AGC Mixer to be rescheduled

Unfortunately, tonight's AGC Mixer had to be cancelled due to weather. Heavy rain is expected, and we would prefer to host this event outdoors rather than under a tent or indoors. We are working on rescheduling the event for a few weeks out, and we'll let you know the new date ASAP.

Safety Day 2021: Saturday, July 24th

Group & Breakout Topics

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Safety Day survey about breakout topics back in March. Every suggestion was looked at, and we are excited to announce this year's group and breakout topics. Check them out below!

Do you live far from Pittsford?

If you live over an hour and a half from Pittsford and would prefer to stay over Friday night vs. driving up in the morning, please let your supervisor know so room arrangements can be made.

We're looking forward to (finally) getting back together as a team! See you all on July 24th.

Safety Topic: Hand Safety

Workplace injuries happen to hands more than any other body part (except for the back). More than one million workers experience a serious hand injury in the workplace every year. Cuts, lacerations, and punctures—which often happen on the hands—are one of the top three types of injuries that keep people away from work.

If you need a pair of gloves, make sure to let your supervisor know, but remember that you are responsible for maintaining your PPE. If you need a new pair of gloves, you will need to turn in your old pair. Please don't throw them away because the accountability of your PPE is required for resupplying.

Please practice these safety tips to protect your hands:

A clean and clutter-free work area and using safe cutting practices (never cut toward yourself) will help in reducing injury.
Always remember to wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves while performing cutting tasks.
Assess the work area for objects that could fall and stay alert to anything with a hinge.
Never put your hand or fingers into any space until you can determine that it is safe. If you know you could be exposed to harmful surfaces or substances, make sure to wear the appropriate gloves.
