Slips, trips, and falls continue to be one of the most common and preventable sources of injury across our industry. Recent incidents remind us that walking and working surface hazards exist on every jobsite, every day. Uneven ground, wet or icy surfaces, cluttered walkways, cords, hoses, and poor housekeeping can quickly turn routine tasks into serious injuries if not addressed immediately.
Champion’s Climbing, Walking, and Working Surfaces Procedure reinforces the responsibility each employee has to establish and maintain a Personal Safety Zone. This is an essential step in identifying small hazards before they lead to big injuries.
Before starting any task:
While identifying hazards, it is important to consider environmental conditions and changing site activities. Weather, simultaneous trades, material movement, and client-controlled conditions can rapidly introduce new risks.
It is important that once hazards are identified, they are corrected immediately before they have the opportunity to cause injury. If the hazard cannot be corrected immediately, stop work and notify your supervisor. Champion supports and expects the use of Stop Work Authority when walking or working surface conditions present a risk to employee safety.
Safe footing starts with good planning, strong housekeeping practices, proper footwear, and accountability. Keep walkways, ladders, stairs, and platforms clear; clean spills immediately; route hoses and cords out of walking paths; and avoid walking backward or sideways where visibility is limited. By staying alert and controlling our immediate work areas, we protect ourselves, our coworkers, and ensure everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.
This month, we are proud to recognize the Turkey Point Day and Night Carpenters as our Crew of the Month. Known for their unwavering work ethic and willingness to take on any challenge, these teams consistently deliver exceptional support across three major projects: Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP), Circulating Water, and Debris Management. Whether erecting and dismantling scaffolds or building concrete forms, the Carpenters have exceeded expectations by completing every task with efficiency, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to safety. Their adaptability during the recent outage played a key role in keeping all projects on track without delays, demonstrating the kind of teamwork that strengthens an entire site.
These crews embody the spirit of Champion. Their reliability, problem‑solving mindset, and consistent dedication make them an invaluable part of Turkey Point’s success. Please join us in thanking the Carpenters for their outstanding contributions and congratulating them on this well‑deserved recognition as our Crew of the Month.
