M.C. Dean Southern Virginia regional site teams are being recognized for their flawless execution of near energized processes and continued dedication to the safety of their teams.
The safety team provided daily oversight of customer operations staff performing critical safety procedures when responding to near energized data center environment outages, including lockout/tagout and live-dead-live. M.C. Dean controls were then applied on top of their customer’s to ensure multiple layers of safety protection when operating in potentially dangerous environments.
Bill Dean, M.C. Dean chief executive officer, and Mike Keatley, senior vice president of Engineering & Construction, recognized the team’s outstanding performance reinforcing safety culture. To celebrate Construction Safety Week, more than 400 employees on site were treated to lunch and a presentation re-enforcing near energized practices and cultural expectations.
The event also served to launch “Take Charge”, an initiative across M.C Dean sites providing avenues of communication between employees and leadership. This campaign also drives personal ownership of safety by encouraging employees to report safety hazards on the spot, make safe observations, and reinforce safety culture through positive recognition. Teams were given t-shirts and hats to commemorate the event.
