Safety Leads the Way to Efficient Production
(1st/2nd Quarter 2010)
A Message from
Leo A. Vecellio, Jr.
Vecellio Group, Inc. President, Chairman
and CEO
Working safely is the first order of business for our Group. At every division and level, we have safety training and monitoring programs in place to make sure this message stays front and center.
We do not try to boost production by cutting corners on safety. Such thinking is dangerous and foolhardy, and has no place in this business. Even in the current down cycle, the answer is always to work smarter, not take foolish risks.
Our supervisors take this vital safety message to heart. Every day they take the lead role in keeping our employees and job sites safe, and they deserve every bit of thanks we can give them.
Our annual Supervisor Safety Awards, in which we recognize the efforts of our supervisors with bonuses and certificates of achievement, are just one way we express our appreciation. My congratulations to everyone who earned an award!
As a Group, we applaud these efforts and encourage all employees management, staff and crew members alike to keep up the good work!
