Zach Helms was nominated by staff.
“He is an extremely company oriented employ-
ee. His dedication shows by working as late as
needed to complete a job. He is very thorough
and makes sure that he has the materials on
his truck to complete tasks. Before he leaves,
daily he asks if anyone needs anything com-
pleted. It doesn’t even have to be overhead
door work. Customers have called in and re-
quested him to do their work (because) they
remember him from previous service calls and
how friendly, efficient and hard working he is.“

Safety! How can I help?
Many throughout our company
exhibit tremendous interest in
improving our safety program.
After all, injuries affect us all in
many different ways. Injuries
affect our moral, profits, insur-
ance cost, ability to bid work,
etc, etc.
There are several ways that we
all can help:
1. Involvement: Stay proactive
in the safety program by identi-
fying hazards. Attend and be
involved with the safety meet-
ings and safety training. Teach
the new employees how to work
safely by being a good mentor!
2. Accountability: Hold your-
self and everyone around you
accountable for the safety in
your area. Don’t be afraid to let
someone know if things aren’t
safe.
3. Culture: Make safety a part
of everything you do. At work
and at home!
4. Fight Fraud: Help us keep
an eye out for false injury
claims. 10% - 20% of all injury
claims are false or inflated. Re-
port these potential false claims
to the corporate office.
5. Do it Right: Don’t get caught
in the trap of “it will only take a
second” or “I’ve always done it
this way and nothing ever hap-
pened.” Stop all unsafe actions
immediately and don’t take
shortcuts.
Report: All accidents and near
misses need to be reported im-
mediately to your supervisor.
Practice these simple steps and
you will have a positive impact
on our safety program. Nothing
could be worse than knowing
you could have prevented an
accident by speaking up and
chose not too!

Health and
Benefits
One of the biggest mis-
takes many people make
in winter is that they forget
to drink water. In summer,
dehydration is obvious –
temperature soaring
steadily, beads of sweat
rolling off your brows,
your vision starts to blur,
you know you have to
grab a glass or bottle of
water and drink up. Caf-
feine and sugary drinks
just won’t do! These kinds
of drinks are known as
Diuretics that means they
dehydrate you instead of
hydrate you.
A simple way to tell if
you’re getting enough flu-
ids is, look at the color of
your urine. If you see a
dark yellow urine color
that has a strong smell, or
if you go to the toilet less
than 4 times a day, then
this means that you’ll
need to up your water in-
take.
Lessons From Grand-
ma about Hearing Loss
From: Ray Hopkins
Source: safetytoolboxtalks
During your weekly visit to Grandma’s house, you notice her TV set’s cranked up
till the speakers rattle in protest. After two minutes of hearing Judge Judy give
someone heck at 100 distorted decibels, you can’t wait to leave. But with severely
impaired hearing, Grandma isn’t feeling your pain. She’d probably prefer it a tad
louder. You cut your visit short and jump into your car. Even before your seatbelt
is on, your mega-bucks stereo is pumping out enough volume and deep bass to
fill a stadium. Ah, good music...What’s wrong with this picture?
Like aging, noise-induced hearing loss generally occurs gradually. With repeated
exposures to noise over 85 decibels (about as loud as traffic on a busy street),
hearing can become permanently damaged. The louder the noise, the sooner
damage will occur. You may protect your hearing on the job, but your ears don’t
discriminate between a screaming power saw and a screaming television. Exces-
sive noise of any kind damages hearing.
Did you Know?
Ten percent of the population has a hearing loss affecting the ability to under-
stand what others are saying?
One in four workers in North America is exposed to potentially damaging noise
levels on the job.
How Can you protect the hearing that you have left?
Wear foam earplugs when attending off-the-job events such as concerts or car
races.
Never sit near loudspeakers.
Use hearing protection when operating a lawnmower, chainsaw or leaf blower.
