P.J. Hoerr Quarterly Company Overview & Safety Meeting - Morton, IL

On Thursday, June 13th P.J. Hoerr/Summit held their second company overview and safety meeting for 2013 at The Ashland House in Morton. There were 115 total in attendance. A buffet dinner was served. Company CEO Bob Hoerr opened the meeting with an overview of current and upcoming projects for the balance of the year. He stated that despite the slower start to the year things were breaking loose in a big way and urged everyone to work cooperatively with PJH operations manager Nick Hart to help address the manpower challenges that would be arising over the coming months. He also urged everyone to be proactive in dealing with the anticipated high heat conditions of the coming weeks. The meeting was then turned over to corporate Director of Safety Hans Hinrichsen. Hans gave a verbal and pictorial overview of the PJH/Summit safety records to date. It was stated that PJH had now gone 228 days without a lost time accident and 131 days without an OSHA recordable incident. Summit was shown to have gone 386 days and 54 days respectively. Hans applauded the team for their excellent record and urged everyone to sustain the intensity of effort. Hans then gave a pictorial overview of a confined space operation at OSF hospital. He then announced the formation of the new PJH/Summit safety committee and urged everyone to bring ideas and suggestions and concerns to the committee for consideration and action. Superintendent safety incentive checks were handed out after which Hans introduced Bill Nienebar, Loss Control Director from West Bend Insurance, the Workers Comp and General Liability insurance carrier for PJH. Bill gave an informative talk on what constitutes a good safety program and what constitutes a bad one. He concluded his presentation with a video presentation on electrical and power line safety. Bob Hoerr gave a brief closing talk on the power of regret in the personal and work lives of individuals. He stressed the particularly strong potential for regret when it comes to job site safety. He concluded by reciting a poem written by a former safety director based on a real life experience entitled "I Could Have Saved A Life That Day."
