On October 18th Murray Company NorCal got together at the UA Local 342 Training Center in Concord (around 30 miles from the San Leandro office) for the Annual NorCal Safety Meeting. Breakfast was served for all the early risers at 6:15 AM and NorCal President Terry James jumped right into welcomes and opening remarks.
The day’s agenda was packed with critically important safety topics that the 70 attendees from the office and field came to discuss and absorb. Guest speaker Richard McElhaney discussed “The Real Cost of Safety” followed by Murray Company staff including Safety Managers Danny Nguyen and Ronnie McCoy, Steve Upton, Joe Carlin, Safety Manager Rex Motzkus and Ethan Brown who addressed topics like Pre-Tasking & Workplans, Rigging Safety, Risk Tolerance, Gas Start-up & QC and Accident Reporting. Corporate Safety Director Justin Myburg addressed Murray Company’s Stop Work Authority program and provided the ZTP Safety Summary for 2024.
