This project with the leadership and management support of Mark, Jackie, and Juston has been able to develop a safety culture that clearly has effected each construction worker on the project. I understand this is a continuing process and is constantly evaluated to address an incident/near miss. I have attended the crew safety meetings. I'm pleased to see the involvement of foremen and workers in the safety discussions and provide additional safety suggestions. I look forward to seeing a successful project completion and continued claim frequency. Michelle Webb, Loss Control Consultant SAIF Corporation |
