you know, this being an 811 celebration month, I think it's time to move on from "big excavator hits water-line" to making regs available, maybe even signed-for, and state-issued guidance for the appropriate action by an excavation equipment renter. The occasional excavator need have no excuse for not being aware. seems as tho' by now it takes a more sophisticated ignorance than due diligence by contractors considering the years of education, what we need to reach are the "weekend-grubbers". safe saying licensed diggers are easier to reach.

Battle-Tested. 👊 What does that mean, exactly? Well, it doesn't mean we they've been through the American Gladiators obstacle course. 🏅 For our laborers, it means a laborer in our network who's been active on several job sites and can handle the tough construction lifestyle. Construction isn't for the faint of heart, but once a laborer has reached the Battle-Tested status, we know we can send them to any project and that they'll perform with flying colors. What does battle-tested mean to you? 🤔 #construction #constructionworker #constructionlife #constructionindustry

Foreman: "Give me one good reason I shouldn't fire you" Me: "There isn't one" Right then, I accepted my fate. For months, I had been arriving 20, 5, or 10 minutes late to work most days. The foreman had already warned me the previous week; I had a small window of turning up on time, then fell back into the hole. After an awkward silence from my response, he looked at me, grunted in frustration and bellowed, "Get to Work". To this day, I believe he was expecting some half-arsed excuse. If I did, he would have marched me out of there. I am 100% certain of this The next day and every other day I worked at this sheet metal factory, I was never late again. At the time, I was 22 and had just packed up all my meagre belongings into my Holden VC Commodore, with a 1-way ticket on the Spirit of Tasmania for Victoria and a new chapter. What did I learn from this experience? 1) 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: I know it saved my job, and from that moment forward, when making mistakes or errors, I hold myself accountable. 2) 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Excuses are talk, and it replaces action.  I needed to take action to ensure I was getting to work on time.  What were all the impediments to me being up on time These two lessons would be invaluable before I round the corner of age 23. #growthmindset #personaldevelopment #career
