I have asked plant managers if there are any specific tasks/procedures that they instruct their personnel to contact them when they will occur. No matter the time of day or night. Surprisingly, many plant managers shake their head “no”. Plant managers should be notified when certain high-risk tasks/procedures are going to take place and when they are finished. Why? Because their involvement (albeit brief) presents another check to confirm the necessary safety protocols/procedures were completed as required. Contacting the plant manager also reinforces the severity of the hazard to the personnel performing the task. For example, plant managers need to be aware if anyone is going to work on the roof. Here is a recent story that could have turned out differently if the plant manager was involved... https://lnkd.in/gQ6uMwFi

During Construction Safety Week, May 6-10, we applaud the tireless efforts of individuals who prioritize safety on job sites and at our manufacturing headquarters. At ES, safety isn't just a procedure – it's a shared commitment. We join over 70 construction firms in inspiring safety leadership because together, we build a stronger, safer industry. 🚧 #ConstructionSafetyWeek #ImagineExtraordinary #BetterWithES #WindowsInnovation

Tuffy’s Treat Company came to CRB with two requests: 1. Accommodate underserved small-scale innovators as efficiently as their high-volume commercial clients 2. Prioritize product quality and safety to a degree not typically seen in the food and beverage industry Our engineers were up to the task, making conscious design choices to make the space flexible at every opportunity with safety in mind. Read more about how our engineering team designed a facility that sped up production time, allowed for future reconfigurations, and set a new standard in pet food safety at the link below. #FoodAndBeverage #AlternativeProteins #CultivatedMeat #EngineersWeek #Engineering #Eweek2024

Nassau Engineering Legend We commemorate William "Bill" Ward, the respected owner of Nassau Engineering, who has left us this weekend. As a mentor and leader, Bill's life was marked by profound kindness, generosity, and a significant professional impact on those fortunate enough to have worked with him. In my early twenties, my professional journey intertwined with Bill's when I started at Nassau Engineering. Bill was more than a supervisor; he was a guiding force who believed deeply in nurturing potential. His ethos was not just about business; it was about building a supportive community, evident from how he assisted me during the nascent stages of my entrepreneurial venture. Without expecting immediate compensation, he provided the resources essential for overcoming early challenges, which profoundly shaped my career trajectory. Bill's leadership extended beyond Nassau Engineering. His principles and work ethic were mirrored at S&B Engineers and Constructors, where I later joined. The seamless transition I experienced can be attributed to the congruent values between the two organizations, a testament to Bill’s lasting influence on industry standards. While serving as a project manager for LyondellBasell, I frequently encountered peers who held Nassau Engineering in high regard. The culture and standards set by Bill's leadership were often highlighted as exemplary, setting benchmarks for what excellence in our field should resemble. These standards are a legacy that continues to influence and inspire. Bill's approach to mentorship and his personal virtues never wavered, even as he faced significant health challenges. His involvement in my patent work, despite his illness, exemplified his unwavering commitment to support and mentorship. Bill’s demeanor—gentle and soft-spoken, coupled with an honest and loving nature—embodied the spirit of a true Texan and a devoted father. As we honor his memory, let us remember Bill not just for his professional achievements but for the compassionate and upright man that he was. His legacy at Nassau Engineering and beyond is a beacon for all who seek to make a meaningful impact in their professional and personal lives. #WilliamBillWard #NassauEngineering #EngineeringExcellence #Leadership #Mentorship #Legacy #InMemoriam #ProfessionalMentor #EngineeringLeaders #TexasPride #Veteran #Innovator #LyondellBasell #S&B #LYB LyondellBasell S&B

🚧 Construction Safety Week 2024! 🚧 ENCOURAGE AND WELCOME NEW IDEAS 💭 Valuing every voice makes sure all team members have a chance to add ideas and are not restricted to the perceived best practice of the loudest voice on the crew. Instead, they are empowered to ask questions, challenge norms, share different ideas for improvement and solve problems in a collaborative and more effective manner. The dialogue created through everyone’s contribution to the discussion brings forward all the expertise on the crew and leads to better hazard identification, and safety improvements in the work process. This video shows us how to put this in motion: https://lnkd.in/ePg-AQi4

The topic for day 2 of Construction Safety Week is Encourage & Welcome New Ideas. Every voice has value. By including everyone in the discussion (not just those that are used to speaking out), you can get all the expertise on the crew which leads to better hazard identification, and safety improvements in the work process. https://lnkd.in/ePg-AQi4

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety, Walter Lilly has introduced a new initiative – The ‘Big 5 in 3’. This new campaign will see the introduction of new engineering controls against our five most significant risks within three years. We have identified that the five most significant risks that pertain our business and those who work on our sites to be: - PPI - Plant People Interface - Working at Height - Excavations - Temporary Works - Buried Services Initiatives introduced so far include trialling a live plant zone system called Zone R. Through its introduction we can ensure safe working with the use of alarmed exclusion areas. All operatives working on or adjacent to plant are now required to complete our 'The Problem with Plant and Vehicles' induction and sign our Commitment Cards, recognising their responsibility and commitment in connection with PPI.  By incorporating these engineering controls and initiatives, we can ensure a lasting commitment to a safer working environment for all. #thebig5 #SHEQ #health&safety #reducerisk #control #construction #safetycampaign
