At Barletta, we understand the critical role machinery plays in our work, and with that comes the responsibility to manage the potential risks associated with using petroleum products like hydraulic fluid, engine oil, and fuel. We have implemented rigorous procedures to respond swiftly and effectively to any accidental oil-only spills. Here’s how we handle these situations—and how you can too: 🔧 Steps for Effective Spill Response: 1. Ensure Safety First: Immediately assess the situation. If there’s any danger to personnel, evacuate the area and call for help. If it is safe, proceed with stopping the spill. 2. Stop the Source: Shut down the machinery if possible. 3. Contain the Spill: Our priority is to prevent the spill from contaminating water sources. We equip active machines with spill kits that include absorbents and containment tools. Larger kits are also available on-site for more significant spills. 4. Clean Up and Store: Once contained, collect the contaminated materials, and store them safely until they can be disposed of properly. 5. Report the Spill: Prompt reporting is crucial, including notifying the foreman, superintendent, project manager and local authorities, as appropriate. Document the Incident: Each spill is documented in our Environmental Incident Reports. This helps us track and improve our safety protocols. 🚨 Why This Matters: By following these steps, we protect our environment from harmful chemical discharges that can affect ecosystems and public health. Barletta is committed to maintaining the highest standards of environmental safety. If you experience a spill, remember these steps and act quickly to protect our shared environment. 🌱 Barletta Safety Site Officers will be delivering this Toolbox Talk to project locations throughout the week. #EnvironmentalSafety #SpillResponse #BarlettaEngineering #ProtectOurPlanet

Safety Zone: Toolbox Talk for Drugs and Alcohol Construction is a high-risk industry. High risk activities and alcohol do not mix. When working on site you need to be alert and fully focused on the task at hand. Alcohol is a drug that depresses parts of the brain function which makes staying alert and focused more difficult. Alcohol increases the risk of injury or damage. Those under the influence of drink or drugs at work are not only a risk to themselves, but to every person on site. Barletta Safety Site Officers will be delivering this Toolbox Talk to project locations throughout the week.

Safety Zone: Toolbox Talk for Distracted Driving Distracted driving is any non-driving activity a person engages in that has the potential to distract an individual from the primary task of driving. To do your part to end distracted driving, remember to: Keep your eyes on the road. Keep your hands on the wheel. Keep focused on driving. Barletta Safety Site Officers will be delivering this Toolbox Talk to project locations throughout the week. Please note that Barletta employees were parked while taking photos.

Safety Zone: Toolbox Talk for Bees and Wasps For most people, stings from these insects do not pose a major issue. However, for others, there can be a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Even if you have not experienced a severe allergic reaction to stings before, it is possible to have a severe reaction at any point in your life. Bees and Wasps can cause more harm than one may assume. It is important to remember that although you may not be allergic to them, someone else may be. Always have an EPI Pen nearby if you or a coworker is severely allergic to insect stings. Barletta Safety Site Officers will be delivering this Toolbox Talk to project locations throughout the week. #ConstructionSafety #OutdoorSafety #BeesandWasps
