Good morning to all IDI employees,
As you know, IDI typically hosts in-person volunteer quarterly safety training meetings for all employees for the past 2 plus decades. Due to Covid-19, we have been unable to host in-person safety training meetings for large gatherings of employees so we have been having to do things a little different for a while.
Our 2nd volunteer quarterly safety meeting of 2021, that we usually hold in early May, will be in the same format as our past 4 training meetings, which means it will be in a safety training video format and a 10 question quiz. All of the information will be emailed to everyone most likely by 5/1/21, including links to watch 2 safety training videos and a link to complete a 10 question quiz. There will be 2 safety training topics including Hazard Recognition and Fire Extinguisher Safety.
We are hopeful that with the Covid-19 positivity rate being lower and with the increase in the population getting the vaccine, that we will be able to meet in-person towards the end of summer for our 3rd volunteer quarterly safety meeting.
Please continue to do your part to help stop the spread of this nasty virus so we can all get together under one roof, including - washing your hands frequently, using hand sanitizer, disinfecting commonly touched surfaces, practicing 6' social distancing, wearing a face covering when within 6' of someone or when required by the job site and staying home when you aren't feeling well.
We miss seeing everyone! We miss the camaraderie that comes with everyone coming together. Please keep on the lookout for future email blasts with more details about the 2nd volunteer quarterly safety meeting.
In the meantime, keep doing what you have always been doing in keeping an eye on each other and looking out for your brothers and sisters. Make your daily Task-Based Safety Awareness Huddles matter as your Loved Ones Count On It!
As always, if you aren't sure of something, stop, take a breather and discuss with your lead field supervisor or Superintendent. You can also call our Safety Director, Safety Pete with any safety related questions.
Have a Safe Day!
