    Our Boulder, CO mine and lightweight aggregate manufacturing plant was chosen as one location to pilot a new safety program. The new program is designed to create a mentorship program where new employees are assigned to more tenured employees. Along with equipment or machinery training, this initiative will focus on training new employees the safe way to work. Boulder is the last of three pilot locations. Other pilot locations include Bessie, OK, and Carson City, NV. At the end of the pilot program, the Continuous Improvement Team will use the findings to make any necessary adjustments to the program before rolling it out across the company. ARC 100 is a safety initiative launched in 2018 utilized across the Arcosa family of companies. Each safety initiative is created and presented by front line employees, understanding that they are the ones closest to any safety concern and the best possible solutions.

    In the latest step of our ARC100 journey, a new team was created to design a Mentor Process for new hires, transfers and temporary employees.   The team defined its goals in the following purpose statement: “The purpose of CIT#5 is to develop a thorough, caring mentor process that encourages a positive safety culture and consistent accountability that measures change and promotes teamwork to ensure long-term sustainable success. (this process will apply to all new hires, transfers and temps)”   The team developed a process that includes defined activities for all levels of the organization, a training plan to prepare everyone for involvement and a measurement system to track the results. This new process will be piloted at 3 different plants that include Bessie, OK, Boulder, CO and Carson City, NV in late July and early August. The goal is to gauge effectiveness and get feedback for improvement prior to implementation in all locations.
