Safety Newsletter January Update
Izzy Rascon Safety Director
Partners,
As we enter into February, I want to recognize the strong start we made together in January. The engagement, ownership, and collaboration across our teams created meaningful momentum, and that doesn’t happen by chance. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped set a solid foundation for the year ahead.
With that momentum in place, this is a great opportunity to raise the bar and continue building forward. For this month, I’d like us to focus on two key areas that will further strengthen our safety performance and culture.
First, when completing MVPs, I’m asking that failed items be intentionally considered and captured every time an MVP is created even if corrected in the field. Please note the corrections in the comments so we can continue tracking trends and potential exposures. These failures, whether tied to known or unknown hazards, are critical learning opportunities that help us better understand risk and prevent incidents before they occur.
Second, these failures should be shared and discussed during safety huddles, staff meetings, and weekly check-ins. By increasing awareness and reviewing trends together, we reduce repeat exposures, strengthen alignment, and create a clearer path forward in safety.
This approach is about learning, improving, and supporting one another. Through open communication and consistency, we continue to strengthen our safety culture, because we care, and because ensuring everyone goes home safe is what matters most. Remember, too, in the spirit of performance review, feedback from our craft professionals is a gift. One that can only improve our safety, relationships, efficiency, productivity, and quality. Let’s make the safety committees impactful!
Stay safe, Izzy Rascon Safety Director
