Be Careful Out There!
Thank
You
Monday, May 27,2013 So many times in life we are thrown into difficult situations that we have to
deal with. Most of the time there isn’t much time to think, only time to respond.
Such a situation recently occurred at LOAM. Thanks to safety training and common sense, the much needed reaction came in a fast and professional way. Kevin
Maughan and Austin Petterborg were working next to each other, putting mud
flaps on a Facilities truck. While Austin was using the grinder, a spark landed on
his shirt, causing his shirt to catch on fire. Kevin reacted quickly, putting out the
fire, taking off the shirt, getting back to the shop, and calling 911. Austin’s burns
may have been much worse had it not been for Kevin and his quick thinking. All of
us at LOAM, Heavy Equipment, and Welding express our gratitude to Kevin for
being such a proactive co-worker in our area of Facilities.
I want to thank Brandon Hansen, Justin Williams, and everyone at Facilities for making last
weekend a great event for my team. It is a rare treat
to find a group on campus that behaves in such a professional manner. Everyone that dealt with me directly was polite and professional and they were great
at being available when necessary. Moreover, I know
that you made yourselves advocates in the event’s defense and I am extremely pleased to have that kind of
commitment to the contract we signed. Thank you
again and know that you are most likely the best
group of people to work with on campus!
Gratefully, Adam Shelton (USU Ballroom)
