On Tuesday, February 27th we held our annual Operations Kick-Off with a follow up day of MSHA training on Wednesday, February 28th. Both days were a great success! We gathered together to celebrate the start of the season and hear about P. J. Keating's plans for 2018. Our President Jonathan gave us a review of PJK's 2017 and how we're looking to improve in the coming year, as well as our Safety Goals for 2018 because safety is just as important as production!

J. Keating to make sure that we maintain the best work environment possible for our employees.

The Environmental Health and Safety team have been hard at work rewriting them. New words, but our #1 goal is always the same!

J. Keating safe, and reviewing MSHA policies and how they relate to our quarries and job sites specifically. Ken and Kyra from Fit4Work gave us some stretching and exercise tips to keep everyone limber, and Billy Simas walked us all through CPR and Defibrillator training in case of emergencies.
