SAFETY
CELEBRATING SAFETY STREAKS
The Davey Tree Surgery Company honored the 11 general foremen whose
crews worked in 2018 without a recordable incident during the surgery
company's annual meeting.
Of the 11 managers honored, seven were incident-free for one year, two were
incident-free for two years, one was incident-free for three years and one has
been incident-free for 12 years.
"For a team to go out and everyone goes home safely at the end of the day
and no one has serious illness or injuries, it's like winning the Super Bowl,"
said Michael Santos, safety manager, Davey Surgery.
Santos' biggest piece of advice for an employee to be accident free is to not
only think about what they are doing on the job but also to take notice of the
workers around you.
"If you see something, say something, no matter what your experience level is,"
he said. "You don't necessarily need to be a vice president to enact change. You
can be the new person on the crew. Whenever you have successful outcomes,
no matter how small, you can always build them into something better."
