| Message from the CEO | ||
Spring is here once again, and even with an unusually rainy few months, we have been able to get in a lot of good workdays so far. Of course in places like Greenville where the rising water levels in the Mississippi River are causing flooding, it restricts our access and causes delays, but we have done our best to overcome those obstacles. On the subject of safety, I feel that everyone is doing a great job with our safety program this year, we do have some new strategies in place to try to be more pro-active in preventing incidents, and promoting and rewarding good behavior. I can’t stress enough how important safety is to the entire company, not just each job site or each individual. Our track record of safety is very important to us when we pursue new work, and when we succeed as a company, everyone benefits from that success. Thanks to everyone who has made safety a primary focus each time you step onto your project site. Safety really does pay! I am also proud to announce that a revised Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual is presently under review and will be available to the jobsites in a few weeks. Please take time to become familiar with any policies or procedures that you may have questions or concerns about. Thank you to everyone who assisted in returning the older versions to the Falkner Office. As a final note, I would like to personally extend my best wishes to those in our company who have recently faced health issues, as well as my sympathy to those who have lost someone dear to them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. To everyone else, keep up the good work! Sincerely,
|

To Everyone At Hill Brothers: A good friend and a fellow employee came by yesterday to pick up his tools out of his service truck. His health has gotten to the point that he can no longer perform his duties. After surgery he is just not able to continue with the day-to-day duties at Hill Bros. Submitted by Eddie Jackson
