FOREMAN FIRST AID & CPR TRAINING

Posted by & filed under Commercial, Kaley Employees.

MARCH 2016 — Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s Northeast Territory Safety Director Jeremy Dvorcek held an OSHA-required First Aid & CPR training at KRSM’s corporate headquarters—Kaley Center.

The training involved a total of 31 foremen over a 3 day period in 6 different sessions. All who were in attendance passed their First Aid & CPR Certifications, which are good for another two years.

“The OSHA requirement is that when a jobsite is more than 3-4 minutes travel distance away from medical care, there needs to be at least one certified CPR/First Aid person on site,” Jeremy said. “We require each of our foreman to remain certified so this never becomes an issue.”

More than 60% of KRSM’s estimators, PMs, and safety personnel got their start in the intern program, so our upper management absolutely recognizes the benefits for the company and the students.”

Many areas were impacted by the significant snowfall and, with the help of everyone involved, we were able to efficiently and safely remove the snow from several roofs in the Philadelphia, PA area out of our WV division,” said Wheeling division Service Manager Shawn Snodgrass.
