APW FIRE PROTECTION LIMITED’s Post

This week I was shocked to find out that so many people speak about me and have good things to say. One of the other subcontractors’ bosses on site came to me and said, “Are you Theresa?” I said yes. He said, “It’s finally nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you.” I thought, me⁉️Now, who’s been speaking of me around #site? I've been on site for like 6 months and it seems a lot of people. Then yesterday one of the cleaners told me that too many people depend on me. She said that every time someone needs something my name is mentioned. They say, “Theresa will do it”, LOL. She said it’s time to delegate because that’s too much responsibility. I know that I take care a lot of staff on site. Over 100 to be exact but never knew my name would be mentioned all over the site and strangers would know of my name. 👷🏽♀️😂 Even when I go into the tank, the staff be so happy to see me. Literally, one told me last week that it's good to have me in there (in the tank). I’ve always let my work and work ethic speak for themselves, but knowing that people appreciate what I bring made my week. Like I said, I've never been afraid of hard work, never been in competition and always let my work do the talking. Do you think work ethics and quality have gone downhill? Are people lazy/companies too complacent, or do they lack the right tools such as experience, knowledge, support, etc.? #constructionindustry #constructuonsite #womeninconstruction #builtenvironment #womenbuildtoo #infrastructure #buildinginfrastructure #constructioncareers #engineeringcareers #oilandgas #sitemanagement #projectmanagement

I had the absolute pleasure of presenting to Thames Water contractors today at the really lovely JSP Safety offices. I forgot to take a photo on the presentation (improvement note to self) but the outside of the office was tranquil 😆. I was helping them learn what they can and can’t control. (In case you were wondering, it’s you. The ONLY thing you can ever control, is you.) Part of my business includes life coaching the staff at Bridges - Trusted Intelligent Engineering Partner and I find it amazing how, as a business, Bridges are so passionate about the well-being of their staff. Their staff can come and talk to me about anything. Here’s why… how you do one thing in your life, is how you do everything. Figure out one issue and the rest follows. Figuring out an issue at home enables staff to be so much more efficient and productive at work and vice versa. Dealing with an issue at work, helps them to be more patient & present at home. It’s a win win for everyone. If you have a Business, or you work for a company, and you wanna know more about how I can help you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Safety on a construction jobsite is crucial to a company's success and the continued growth and progress of our community. That's why I'm excited to connect with a group of people throughout central Florida who share my passion for safety. Let's talk about best practices, share great ideas, learn from others, and collaborate on improving the overall safety and performance of employees and companies on construction job sites. Vincent Niglio from USI and Terence Curran from The Amphibious Group are partnering together to share knowledge with and learn from contractors best practices on many topics. This would be a 1-hour commitment once a month to meet over breakfast or lunch and discuss topics that will add value to our community. I've always believed that understanding risks, mitigating losses, and protecting employees are the differentiators between success and failure as a company. Central Florida is expected to experience growth of 1.27% per year over the next 8 years, double the national average. This means more people, more homes, more jobs, and more risk. Ensure your company and your employees are prepared. If you are responsible for safety for your company, you have an obligation to protect the most important asset to your company’s success; your employees. Let's work together to make sure we're ready for whatever comes our way.

“Better to be prepared and not have to face the challenge, then face the challenge and not be prepared”. The benefits of collaboration. This reminder came up today from 12 years ago and my time working on several new MACE projects, new research buildings over several years in Oxford. From a chat over a cuppa with Danny Getjar’s crane driver after we completed the tower crane inspections and checks the conversation led to a question of “how difficulty is it to rescue a tower crane driver from his cab in an emergency?” This left me ponding the various factors to bring a driver down safely after reviewing the safety plan in place. This lead to me engaging with Oxfordshire Fire Service Specialist Rescue Team to ask if they had ever performed such a rescue. From their records they hadn’t, but as there are a small number of such rescues in the UK each year it was not inconceivable they may need to at some point. So with the assistance of Danny the driver and Getjars use of the crane as they could see the potential benefits if an emergency occurred, and the assistance of some site team members; we spent a whole weekend with the site closed undertaking various simulated rescue senarios for extracting an operator from the tower crane cab. By the end of the exercise the Specialist Rescue Team said the simulation raised an number of challenges and issues in reality that they may not have anticipated in theory. And as such would develop a plan and execution procedures from what they had learnt. It’s also a great reminder that we can consider many situations in theory, but there is no substitute for experience and actually doing it to gain experience of the reality of what is required.

Safety culture on our jobsites isn’t just a thing we talk about. We take #EverySecondSafely and way beyond #ConstructionSafetyWeek. No excuses. 🤝 Our employee-owners set the standard for #Safety and take personal ownership of every project. It's one of the reasons why we're one of the region’s top infrastructure contractors in heavy #Construction. And our robust #SafetyCulture is dynamically integrated across our employee-owners and project partners. It’s not something we do in addition to work. It’s how we work. See why. https://bit.ly/3xJiEWz
