Good Catch/Near Miss Program

A Good Catch is when someone recognizes an unsafe condition or poor-quality work, and proactively takes action to prevent something bad from happening. This may involve pausing the work, correcting the unsafe situation or poor-quality work and coaching involved employees.

Near misses describe incidents where no property was damaged and no personal injury sustained, but given a slight shift in
time or position, damage and/or injury easily could have occurred.

Quarter 1 - 2024

Good Catch/Near Miss
Jorge Marroquin has been recognized as the recipient of the Good Catch/Near Miss award for the first quarter of 2024. His keen eye spotted a defective sling in the field intended for lifting a section of a lattice tower. This sling, upon inspection, revealed serious damage that could have led to a major incident if utilized. Through his attentiveness to rigging safety and thorough review of his work, Jorge averted a potential rigging failure incident. Kudos to Jorge for his exemplary diligence and commitment to safety. Great job!
