PAGE 03 Safety Is Our Workstyle SAFETY LEADERSHIP TRAINING HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS SAFETY IN THE FIELD Back in May, we had several managers attend Supervisor Safety Leadership Training at our corporate headquarters in Livonia. This is a two-day Safety Leadership Development workshop presented by Travelers Insurance that covers the following topics: Safety Leadership Safety Coaching Safety Communication Situational Awareness Ergonomics for Supervisors Post Injury Management Several of the managers commented that the program was a great overview of the topics and provides knowledge that can be used at their branches immediately. We thank those who attended for taking time away from their busy day to participate in this valuable safety training. The Hierarchy of Controls is a method of identifying and ranking safeguards to protect workers from hazards in the workplace. Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is one of the controls in place to protect workers. At Alta we offer several voucher or reimbursement options for PPE, including safety boots, prescription safety glasses, and mechanic gloves. We require the use of safety glasses with side shields in all service shops and yards, plus steel or composite toed boots for technicians, drivers, and warehouse employees. Please visit the Alta Intranet site under the Policies and Procedures tab in the Safety folder for more details on our PPE reimbursement guidelines and general information for employees or email the Safety Team at [email protected].

Our Tampa location recently made much needed repairs to their dock. Several of the boards on the dock had rotted from years of exposure to the elements. Tampa Yard Manager, Jose Colon, and Tampa Wash Rack Specialist, Esom Mouton, came up with the plan for how to refurbish the dock and make it safer for those who need to use it. We appreciate the work that Jose and Esom did and recognize their Passion for Excellence. The transformation is noteworthy as seen in these pictures: Pictured going up the stairs: Mike Zenner, Waukegan Ops Manager; Austin Jepson, Scarborough Ops Manager; Brennen Orr, Livonia Safety; Dave Jordan, Berlin Ops Manager; Travis Mock, Lansing Ops Manager; and Ryan Melcher, Director - Case Equipment PA.
