Happy Monday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message.      We’ve all heard the saying “two heads are better than one.” On a construction site, one of the many ways we can smartly apply this concept is by having spotters help drivers during the operation of heavy equipment and large vehicles. When done correctly, a spotter can save lives and prevent injuries by acting as a second set of eyes and ears, providing important information about the vehicle’s immediate surroundings to the driver when they’re backing up a vehicle or maneuvering it through a crowded space. Keep in mind: Proper preparation, good communication, correct positioning, high-visibility clothing, and focus are all essential elements for successful spotting.   At MYR Group, Safety is Life.      #MYRGroup #Safety #ElectricalConstruction #ConstructionSafety    

Happy Monday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message.    Construction sites are dynamic work environments – as we work, and as others are working around us, we need to continually assess our situation and make adjustments as needed. When you’re assessing your work set-up, take your time. Look above, below, in front of, behind, and to the sides of your work area. Then, go beyond assessing just in relation to your body – look all around heavy equipment and other items in your work area to ensure there’s nothing potentially hazardous in the vicinity. Your situational awareness will not only keep you safe, but empower you to better perform your tasks as well. At MYR Group, Safety is Life.    #MYRGroup #Safety #ElectricalConstruction #ConstructionSafety

Happy Monday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message. Equipment inspection is a critical aspect of safety culture. From heavy equipment vehicles to the smallest hand tools and all their related parts and accessories, everything we use needs to be in safe, working condition. Even a minor defect can create hazardous conditions. Whether you’re doing a walk-around of a forklift or looking over a hammer, you need to comprehensively check the equipment and use a questioning attitude throughout the inspection. Don’t underestimate the importance of checking over your tools and equipment before getting started! This proactive step helps protect you and your team members on the job.

In the face of emergency storm restoration, MYR Group subsidiary The L.E. Myers Co. rallies resources and crews to rebuild electrical infrastructure efficiently and safely. When a tornado damaged a 765kV structure in the Midwest, their team mobilized right away, collaborating with the local utility to analyze damage, craft a strategic plan for handling the reconstruction of the massive tower, and procure the necessary resources to execute it. Constructing 765kV towers comes with challenges inherent to their size and complexity, but L.E. Myers’ capabilities and their effective teamwork with the utility meant that the line was back up and re-energized in under four weeks, restoring power to a major electrical “backbone” in the area.
