May Good Catch Winner of the Month
|
|
[
From L to R: Todd Ross, Chris Delpha - Good Catch Winner,
Drew Dunlap, and Josh Corkins]
|
|
As one of our dump trucks passed our site in Bennington, Chris noticed that there was a rock stuck in the rear duals. Chris alerted the driver over the radio to let him know about the rock so it could be removed before continuing on. Great Catch!
Thank you, Chris!

A
Near Miss
is an event that’s been recognized in which no employee is injured, or property damage is sustained, but could have given a slight change in variables.

It is more important than ever to stay safe, both inside and outside of work, as this is the biggest risk to each of us, our families, and the company at this time. Please continue to be diligent about wearing masks, washing your hands frequently, and maintaining social distance by staying 6 feet apart whenever possible.
Thank you all for doing your part to keep yourself, your co-workers, and our customers safe and healthy as we navigate through this stage of the pandemic.
