Re: FOREMAN KEEP YOUR CREW SAFE


My deepest symphathies are with you.Ronnie Collins drowned in Columbia, SC. He was working for 1st South, I was a sub. They asked that crew out on a Sunday morning in the rain to get 1 span. Ronnie didn't wait for a life vest. I sure wish he would've and so does his 3 children and their mother.
No deadline is worth a dead lineman. First South lost several guys in a relativley short time. I feel sure they've updated their safety policies by now.
Oh, buy the way , they crossed with the strand on the day after Ronnie drowned.
KEEP IT SAFE!

> May 1st Jeremiah Olson was running strand, they asked someone on the crew to "swim it across the river". He tried and drowned! To all foreman, linemen and ground hands, KEEP YOUR CREW SAFE!! Please follow all saftey rules. Think of Jeremiah.
> He loved his job and would do anything for the company he worked for, and he paid for it with his life! God rest his soul.
