NOTES
FIELD
Developing a team's safety perspective
takes time and commitment.
That's why Davey Tree Surgery
Company Supervisor David
Woodworth's client Hawaiian Electric
Company (HECO) called in Davey
Senior Regional Safety Specialist
Tim Brown to complete a three-year,
three-phase safety program for
A SAFETY LESSON IN PARADISE FOR SURGERY CREWS
Davey Surgery's Hawaiian crews.
Brown's safety training has expanded
along with the scope of Davey's
Hawaiian services. This year, Brown
invited Tim Walsh, safety manager,
and Jeremy Lewis, regional safety
specialist, to complete the HECO
safety training and other safety team
and operational site support visits
across the state to improve the safety
and productivity of the Hawaii crews.
"The purpose of these trainings is to
enhance skill sets to improve safety
and efficiency," Brown said. "It also
enhances coach-mentoring skills as
employees mentor new hires or
employees with less experience."
