1 “We operate in a safe, reliable manner” is one of our most emphasized values. Company employees learn at the Charles K. Vaughan
Center in Plano, Texas, to use personal protective equipment and proper procedures to safeguard each other when entering an under-
ground confined space. 2 At an employee safety meeting, Ed Johnson, Mississippi Division safety manager, reviews techniques for coaching
in the moment, a program to create trust among fellow employees and prevent accidents. 3 Although all employees who operate
company vehicles regularly attend driver’s training, those who operate heavy-duty trucks and equipment receive additional instruction
and practice on the critical skill of backing. 4 Unable to move, a Mississippi Division employee experiences the crushing force that an
excavation cave-in can cause. Trenching, excavating and shoring procedures must be inspected and overseen at all company jobsites by
an employee certified as a Competent Person.
