Situational Awareness & Safety
We are walking out our plant right now for updating our prints reading for building to rural America and plant upgrades. Our trucks & vendors may be new to the area, looking for access. We are in people’s yards, rear easements, along country roads, cold knocking doors and everything in between more than ever. We have already run into escalated circumstances and believe this to be a timely topic. Join us for a in depth discussion on situational awareness and safety.
