Good morning to all I.D.I. employees: All employees are invited to attend our 2nd quarterly safety
meeting for 2012 which will be held on Saturday, June 2nd from 7:00am to about
9:00am. The safety training
topic will be on Supported Scaffold Safety. The meeting will be held at our office
location in the warehouse at 28059 W. Commercial Ave., Barrington, IL
60010. We last trained on scaffolding at
our May, 2008 quarterly safety meeting so it’s time for a refresher for the
veterans and maybe some new safety training for the new hires.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.3 million
people work on scaffolding annually.
There are over 10,000 scaffold related injuries on average per
year. There has been an average of 88
scaffold related fatalities over the past 5 years. Scaffold ranks #2 as the most frequently
cited construction OSHA standards with 7,069 citations being issued in
2010. We want to provide scaffold safety
training so that you don’t become one of these statistics. We want for all of our employees to live up
to our safety mission statement which is: “Everyone Goes Home Alive and in the
Same Condition as They Arrived; Your Loved Ones Count On It!” And that is why we are providing scaffold safety
training.
We encourage everyone to attend for several reasons of which
the most important reason is for your safety.
We look forward to seeing you on June 2nd. Should you have any questions regarding
scaffold safety or the upcoming meeting, please call our Safety Director, Peter
Graham at (847) 417-1689.
Have a Safe Day!
