I offer my very best wishes to you

and your family for a prosperous

2015!

Message from Marchel

May I wish you a “Happy New Year” as we start 2015. I hope you all enjoyed

being with family and friends throughout the holiday season.

One of the stops that I made over the holidays, was a visit to the birthplace of

Walmart located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The store has been converted into a

museum giving the history of Walmart complete with memorabilia. The hand out

that they gave us, has several “rules for success” that are worthy of sharing and

apply to any job, organization, or even your family.

1. Commit to your business - believe in it more than anybody else. If you love

your work you will be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly

can, and soon everyone around you will catch the passion from you.

2. Motivate those around you. Set high goals.

3. Communicate everything you possibly can. The more information you share

about your job, the more people understand, the more they understand, the more

they care. If you don’t share, you don’t care.

4. Appreciate others - a paycheck buys one kind of loyalty, but all of us like to be

told how much somebody appreciates what we do.

5. Celebrate your successes. Find some humor in your failures. Show enthusi-

asm always.

6. Listen - to all those in your company; this will help force good ideas to rise to

the forefront.

7. Exceed your customers’ expectations. Give them what they want and a little

more. Let them know you appreciate them. Make good on all your mistakes, and

don’t make excuses.

8. Control your expenses better than your competition. This is where you find

the competitive advantage.

Good advice, coming from Sam Walton, a man who created the one of the largest,

if not the largest company in the world.

“True leadership depends

on willing service”

- Sam Walton

FOUR MAJOR “MUST HAVES” IN CONSTRUCTION

Hard hats—Prevention of head injuries is important in every safety program. How does a hard hat pro-

vide protection? It can shield your head (scalp), face, neck and shoulders from a falling object, splashes,

spills and drips. A rigid shell can resist blows to the head. The suspension system inside the hat acts as a

shock absorber. The right hard hat can serve as an insulator against electrical shock.

Safety glasses—Why is it important to wear safety glasses? According to a survey 800,000 work related

injuries to eyes occur each year. From 10% to 20% of these injuries cause temporary or permanent dam-

age. It is believed that up to 90% of these injuries can be prevented by wearing safety glasses. Safety

glasses come in many different styles, physical makeup and usage. It is important you use the safety glasses

you need for the task you are performing. It is equally important to choose glasses that fit properly and

are comfortable to wear.

Safety boots (preferably steel toe boots)—In construction many people question whether or not to

wear safety boots . Many think safety boots can be uncomfortable and that the steel toe will not allow for

good air circulation. Safety is the main reason why people wear these boots. Most construction sites will

not let you enter the site much less work there unless you are wearing steel toe boots. By wearing these

boots you resist the possibility of being exposed to unnecessary hazards. If something heavy was to fall on

your feet, or your feet should come into contact with sharp objects, steel toe boots can help to prevent

injuries. Safety boots will also protect your ankles should you step in a hole or onto an uneven surface.

When it comes to choosing comfort over safety, safety should always win.

Gloves—While performing a task that has the possibility to produce injuries to any portion of the hand,

protective PPE should be used. In certain circumstances, there are exceptions to this. Some tasks where

gloves can be caught in a tool or machinery and can be determined to have more of a chance to injure

the hands, gloves should not be used
