Think about your family and loved ones!

I completed my first project site visit yesterday. It was great! We started with the monthly safety meeting. The speaker was Randall Royall. If you are ever looking for a speaker on the topic of Safety, consider him!!! He was excellent!!!! He was severely injured on the job when he did not follow the procedure of working with a second person when he went to check out a leak. He was paralyzed for a period of time due to those injuries. One of the points that he made in his presentation was that the consequences of not using safe procedures doesn't just affect you; it has a big impact on your family and friends as well. His wife had to quit her job to take care of him. He lost his new house and his new truck. This, of course, affects his entire family.

The rest of the site visit was wonderful as well. It was great to personally meet a number of Austin employee-owners who work at this client location. Our people are so cool! I'm very much looking forward to my visit next month to another client site. I wanted to take some pictures while I was there to include in this blog, but the client has very strict policies on that.
