That’s NOT Heavy Duty – Don’t Be a “Castle Keeper” Our host, Jamie Irvine, shares a story about something he learned early in his career from his mentor Allen Felling. Have you ever heard of someone with a lot of knowledge refusing to share that knowledge with younger people in the industry? Allen Felling called that being a "castle keeper" and this kind of behavior has no place in the heavy-duty parts industry. We need to help our young people learn as much as we can while the older more experienced people are still with us. How do you make sure that this knowledge is passed on to the younger people in your company? If you haven't yet, follow The Heavy Duty Parts Report presented by the Heavy Duty Consulting Corporation, so you never miss out on great conversations that empower heavy-duty people. 🎧 #SupportYoungPeople #CareerDevelopment #Mentorship #TruckingIndustry #BeHeavyDuty

"This next gentleman was nominated by myself. I've been at GRO for about 2 years and I've had the pleasure of working with this gentleman and each day, day after day, he continues to grow and impress me. He was recently promoted to the foreman position and upon completing his first job there was nothing but high praise from the homeowner. His communication was fantastic, he answered all their questions, completed the job in a timely fashion, and kept the jobsite very clean. This gentleman also helped build a valve box and took quality photos that we will use in our GRO U training sessions moving forward. For continuing to grow your skillset and yourself as a person, for going above and beyond, Eduardo Carrillo!" -Manager Michael C. We have monthly safety meetings here at GRO.

"This individual is relatively new to GRO, I've been really impressed with him. He's bounced around from crew to crew and I've heard nothing but great things from his foremen. Every time I show up to a job site I notice he's always working hard, moving fast, and doing what he needs to do to get the job done. I've asked for volunteers to work Fridays the last couple months and he's volunteered every single time. He's been a really reliable and great asset to GRO!" -Manager Erik F.

Meet Superintendent, Sean Timoney! "Don't sweat the small stuff" is a quote that sticks with Sean through his career... "Early on in my career, I became fixated with everything needing to be perfect. That was fine of course when I was working by myself or with a small crew. As I grew and became a foreman, so did my crew size and project scales. I went from managing 5-10 people to managing 20, then 50, then 100. I could not have handled this transition without taking a step back and not trying to control every detail and trivial thing. This change allowed me to focus on the big picture and trust people.  When we look back at things with the perspective of time passed and wisdom, most of it ended up being small stuff."

Here at Bunney's Safety is our number 1 core value and we do everything in our power to ensure our workers leave our jobsite the same way they came to work. Great job David! #StaySHARP #Constructionsafety #Workplacesafety

How is your Productivity & Efficiency? Does your business implement processes and procedures to ensure your staff is working to their maximum performance? Here’s a few steps we take to make sure we are hitting our daily targets. ✏️ Prestart Checks to all Machinery & Vehicles. ✏️ Restock Parts, Consumables & Supplies Prior to leaving the yard. ✏️ Jobsite Toolbox talks, risk assessments & Clear Communication of daily goals and timelines. ✏️ Post work maintenance, prepare all tools and machinery for the following day. I find comfort in being over prepared. A well organized team is also a safe team, there is no unnecessary distractions. Arboriculture is 1 of the deadliest occupations in the world. To all my arb brothers “look up, stay safe & price your jobs accordingly so you are not rushed to meet a deadline, this is when accidents happen” Cheers Mitch 📸: Dubbo Tree Service

Working safely is a core value at Helmkamp. Absolutely nothing is more important than sending our team home each day unharmed. This year’s theme for Construction Safety Week is “Value Every Voice.” Whether it’s during a morning safety meeting, toolbox talk, or just in passing... YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Everyone on a construction site CAN & DOES play a pivotal role in ensuring that they and their crewmates go home safely to their families and friends every day. So we encourage our project teams to speak up, ask questions, share information, and most importantly, listen. This helps strengthen connections with one another and creates more opportunities to advance the Helmkamp safety culture. #helmkampteam #safetyalways #thinksafety #worksafely #standdown4safety #encourage #listen #empower #constructionsafetyweek
