Safety Man Comin’

We are taking a short break from the show to welcome Safety Man Jr. into the world.  We will be back with new interviews soon.  Until then, follow us on Instagram or Facebook at Safety Man Comin' to get all the updates on a return.  Thank you to everyone for supporting the show.

We had so many great questions that it felt wrong to leave some of them unanswered.  So in this episode, we talk silica, RAP, icy potholes, and.....taters.

Join us as we talk to Craig Watson.  He tells us what it's like to teach hard-headed construction workers like us to communicate with each other all in the name of helping us hire, train, and keep good people.

Join us as we dive in and answer questions people have about the industry.  Our first trip into the ol' Safety Man Comin' mailbag.

It's Work Zone Awareness Week!  Join us as we continue the conversation with Robert about changing technology and the dangers of working near traffic.  In addition, I'll talk about National Work Zone Awareness Week and why it's important for all of us in the industry.

This episode we talk to Robert Skinner, who was in the highway construction industry for almost 45 years.  Listen as he talks about the history of the highway system in Eastern Arkansas during the last half of the 20th century, and his involvement in it.  We talk about the progress of technology and what it was like being an inspector for the State, then working on the other side for a highway contractor.

This episode we talk to Michelle Coletta.  She spent most of her career in highway construction in an HR capacity.  She talks about the challenges of starting in the industry and how it has changed over time.  Listen as she recounts her memorable stories and gives us tips on how to hire good people and keep good people.  

Our first episode!  Join us as we hear from Max Watson.  He's been in and around Highway construction for 50 years.  We talk about how he started, why he stayed in the business, and some of the wild things that he has seen on the job.
