New Code of Safe Practices

Just like that… we’re back down to ONE safe day.

‍

This month alone, we’ve lost our safe day count five times. That’s five separate incidents where either an injury occurred or a delay in reporting caused us to lose progress.

‍

We can’t stress this enough:

Every incident, no matter how small, needs to be reported immediately. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about keeping each other safe and being accountable to one another. When reports are delayed, even by a day, we still lose the safe count. That means the hard work everyone puts in every day to work safely is erased in a moment—all because something wasn’t communicated on time.

‍

We know mistakes happen, but we need to be better at speaking up right away. If you see something, say something. If you get hurt—even slightly—let your supervisor know immediately. If something doesn’t look right, report it.

Let’s recommit to doing our part. Let’s build our safe day count back up—together.

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through May. As we move into the latter half of spring, it’s time to start preparing for summer. This means staying hydrated and taking steps to protect ourselves from the sun—wear sunscreen and sun hats as needed.

This time of year also brings increased insect and animal activity. We’ll cover this more in this month’s safety meetings, but the key point is: don’t try to handle pests or snakes on your own. If you see a beehive or rattlesnake on a property, notify the property manager so they can bring in a professional to handle it safely. Be sure to check your surroundings and clear any hazards before setting up your work area.

Thank you for all that you do. Please continue to stay safe and look out for yourselves and one another. Remember, safety has no quitting time.
