At InfraSource, safety is always our first priority. Our commitment to ensuring a secure work environment led us to establish the Good Catch program. This program highlights our unwavering dedication to safety and The Capacity Model. Our team pays meticulous attention to detail, constantly monitoring their surroundings. Their vigilance has proven pivotal in averting safety hazards, all thanks to the Good Catch program.
The success of our Good Catch program continues to grow, with an ever-expanding collection of safety success stories. These stories demonstrate our employees’ enduring commitment to this program. By proactively identifying and rectifying potentially dangerous situations, they ensure the well-being of everyone involved.
This first Good Catch particularly stood out, as the team’s adherence to procedure prevented a potentially life-threatening situation. One day during a routine change of blocking, our crew discovered that the A and C phases were de-energized, but the B phase remained energized. There was a single-phase radial off the B phase that went to a cell tower. The backup generator briefly came on and turned off, de-energizing the B phase. In response, the crew promptly executed a stop timeout. The system operator instructed them to eliminate the back feed from the generator. The crew also promptly notified the cell company, which assured them of immediate resolution. Overall, their swift action ensured safety and allowed time to identify the correct solution.
Our next safety success story involves our crew identifying multiple faulted secondary cables. These cables were discovered while our crew was conducting their initial inspection of a manhole. One of our foremen immediately contacted management and the construction manager. They collaborated to devise a repair plan after obtaining additional resources to determine the best course of action. The following day, the crew entered the manhole and successfully made the cables safe without disrupting service to our customers. Thanks to this crew, crisis was averted, and everyone involved stayed safe.
The last Good Catch is a situation of some melted wires. Before our crew began work to transfer wire, they diligently inspected the affected area and discovered melted strands. Taking immediate action, the crew initiated a stop timeout to strategize. Subsequently, they skillfully sleeved the damaged conductor. Their attention to detail and expertise played a pivotal role in identifying this hazard and preventing any further risks.
In summary, InfraSource’s commitment to safety is evident through the Good Catch program. Our team has proactively averted numerous hazards, from faulted cables to melted wires. These success stories underscore our dedication to maintaining a safety-first work environment.
