Kristin McKenzie, Martin Concrete Construction, SRMC Board Member, The Voice Newsletter November 2023
As a longtime attendee of the ASCC Safety Summit, I can confidently say that this event has been instrumental in elevating our safety department at Martin Concrete. The resources and knowledge gained from this event have proven to be invaluable, not just for our safety team, but for our company.
At Martin Concrete, safety is not just a priority, it is a non-negotiable aspect of our work. We understand that investing in our team's continuous education is crucial for the success of our operations. Attending the Safety Summit each year provides us with an opportunity to stay up-to-date with industry hot topics and trends, learn from experts in the field, and network with other safety professionals in the concrete industry.
Our team greatly benefits from hearing about the challenges and solutions that other industry professionals face. Sharing experiences and insights helps us strengthen our safety culture and work towards ensuring that every employee goes home safely at the end of the day.
Moreover, the Safety Summit provides us with an opportunity to invest in team building, which is essential for the success of any organization. Each year, we take the time to celebrate our team's achievements and bond at a fun activity. This has helped us cultivate a positive company culture that centers around hard work, continuous learning, safety, and fun.
Our mission at Martin Concrete is to provide unequaled positive experiences for our customers while creating an environment in which our employees can envision and achieve unlimited success. We believe this event supports both aspects of our mission statement, and we strongly encourage all ASCC members to attend a future Safety Summit for the same reasons. It’s a small price to pay that can yield tremendous benefits for your safety department and your own company culture.
We all know if you can avoid one incident by attending then you’ve already experienced a return on your investment.
