Monthly Safety Meeting: Preventing Falls 🪜🚧 This morning was team IDEAL's monthly safety meeting where we zeroed in on the most critical aspect of roofing safety - preventing falls. Falls remain one the leading causes of construction injuries, especially in roofing, making it critical for everyone to be equipped with the knowledge on how to prevent accidents. Today, the team discussed how we can prevent falls, guardrails, safety nets, personal fall arrest systems, and safe ladder use. Safety is a shared responsibility, and meetings like these are vital to keeping our team informed, prepared, and vigilant. Let’s continue to prioritize fall protection and make our workplace a safer environment for everyone. #SafetyMeeting #FallProtection #WorkplaceSafety #TeamSafety #SafetyCulture

The health and safety of our roofers is one of IDEAL's utmost priorities, especially as the construction industry is well-known for its physically demanding work, which puts workers at a higher risk of injuries, particularly musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. These injuries can lead to chronic pain and result in increased healthcare usage, presenteeism challenges, a heightened risk of substance use disorders, and a decline in overall quality of life, including mental health struggles. To be truly effective, construction benefits must be tailored to address these specific challenges.

Ring that Bell! 🔔🎉 At IDEAL, our team celebrates every successful bid on a project with a time-honored tradition: ringing the bell! The winning estimator gets to share in their victory with the entire office, signaling the hard work, dedication, and teamwork that went into securing the bid. Last month during our quarterly team meetings, one of our remote estimators, Rhina Guido, was in the office when she won her bid, marking the first time she got to ring the bell herself! Here's to more wins, more bell rings, and many more milestones together! #Teamwork #Success #BusinessTraditions #WinningTogether #CompanyCulture

IDEAL Ping-Pong Tournament 🏓🎉🍤 Last Friday, Ideal hosted our monthly 'First Friday Lunch' where the team came together to share a low-country boil cooked by our very own CEO, Mike Finney. When we weren't enjoying a delicious meal, team Ideal hosted a ping-pong tournament where colleagues showed off their skills and competed fiercely for the championship title! None of this would have been possible without the sponsorship from Tom Wiese from Sarnafil! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with one another, enjoy some outdoor activities, and indulge in a classic Southern feast. Whether participants were ping-pong pros or just there for the food, everyone had an incredible time! #teambuilding #pingpong

🔨🚧 Monthly Safety Meeting Recap: Manual Handling 🚧🔨 This week, our team gathered for our monthly safety meeting, and the focus was on something crucial for all of us on the construction site: Proper Manual Handling💪Understanding and practicing correct lifting methods is essential not only for our productivity but, more importantly, for our health and safety. Always think about the LITE approach: LOAD - The characteristics of the load being handled, including its weight, shape, size, stability, and any potential hazards associated with it INDIVIDUAL - Focuses on the capabilities and limitations of the individual performing the manual handling task. TASK - The manual handling task being performed. Do I need to reach, up, or down? Do I need to twist? How many times do I need to do this? ENVIRONMENT -  Considers the working environment in which the manual handling task takes place. A huge thank you to Matt for leading the meeting. Let's continue to prioritize safety on every job site. Remember, a safe workplace is a productive workplace. Stay safe, team! 🦺👷♂️👷♀️ #SafetyFirst #ConstructionLife #TeamWork #ProperLifting #HealthAndSafety #ConstructionSafety

Construction for the Paris Olympics 🚧🏅🌍 Last Friday marked the first day of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the biggest event France has ever organized. Despite hosting over 10,000 athletes, 592 of whom are Americans, France has constructed relatively few sports facilities, unlike the 2021 Tokyo predecessor. However, the new aquatics center has taken the city by storm with the roof being covered in "...photovoltaic panels, making it one of France’s largest urban solar farms and supplying all the energy the facility needs." https://loom.ly/-4x3T8c
