THE DAVEY BULLETIN

September/October 2024
The Health and Safety team
recently launched Learn Safe
Daily on DaveyConnect. Each
month, a new calendar is posted
highlighting one close call or
actual incident scenario per day.
The close calls and incidents
are tracked by Jon Schmidt,
program manager, Human and
Organizational Performance,
health and safety department. Learn Safe
Daily calendar entries include a description of
what happened, what lessons
can be learned, along with
relevant positive comments
or questions for discussion.
"Positive comments recognize
the courage required by an
employee to bring forward
a close call," Schmidt said.
"People should be recognized
for actively caring and for
protecting one another. They are living Davey's
value of safety when sharing a close call."

I have a job to do for my team. They're depending on me to
score points, and I'm depending on them to hold back the
other team's jammer. It's a really cool feeling."
Making it to the All-Stars team in her fi rst year was one of
Browning's most memorable moments, and she owed it all
to her captains and coaching staff.
"A lot of the fans have known me since I started, and when
they approach me with compliments, it feels very rewarding,"
she said. "You have this community of people watching you,
and it's awesome when your hard work is appreciated."
