On May 7th, our Residential/Service Division had their annual luncheon at the Wheeling Park Bandstand supplied by ABC Supply and Owens Corning. The whole team enjoyed BBQ from Hangover BBQ in Wheeling, and the roofers had the chance to win prizes such as tools, shirts, and other gear. This is a small token of gratitude for our crews’ hard work anddedication throughout the year.
May 1st through May 7th was National Safety Week. As part of the company culture at Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal, a commitment to safety is our number one priority and responsibility. Throughout the year, Kalkreuth holds many trainings, including fall prevention training. Falls can be prevented with the proper equipment and training.
“Consistently, 34-39% of construction fatalities are from falls. Each year, falls account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry, especially with small businesses. On average, nearly 400 workers are killed and more than 10,000 are injured as a result of falls in the construction industry each year.” – Associated General Contractors of America
