The Frattalone Scoop
1. Safety & Training Corner - 2008 Safety Review
Great job Team
Frattalone! Calendar year 2008 was the best we have experienced
since becoming self-insured with our captive! The “Recordable
Injury Rate (RIR) History” graph below shows where we are at in
relation to the industry average. Our expectation for 2009 is to
continue the downward trend of our Recordable Injuries and remain
leaders of the industry average. Focusing on safe behaviors and
removing unsafe conditions will help us succeed in out journey.
Have a safe and productive construction season.
Josh Bernhard, Safety Director
Please be sure
to submit all training certificates you have completed this past
winter so everyone’s file is up to date. You can stop by the
office and make a copy of the certificate(s), fax it to
651-484-7839, or email
joshb@frattalonecompanies.com
Thank you!
