2012 SAFETY AWARDS
On April 7, 2013, our annual safety awards were presented to honor and recognize the achievements of "Team Heaton" for the year 2012. Our program was created seventeen years ago to track the safety performance of our employees, and provide a means of recognition on an individual and company wide basis. Our award criteria is very stringent and therefore winners each year have attained a high level of safety excellence. Many of our employees have been accident free for several years, as evidenced by the award levels. To provide a perspective of this accomplishment, an employee must work a minimum of five years without ANY incidents to qualify for the 10,000 hour award. We are very proud to announce the annual award winners. Please extend your congratulations to them as you see them on your jobsites or projects.

 Congratulations to Alvin Hancock, our 2012 Safety Employee of the Year. Alvin began his career at Heaton in 2000, driving tractors and trucks in our fleet. He had no prior experience in the crane industry, but had a desire to learn and advance to the position of operator. Alvin began our in house training and advanced from driver, to oiler, to small crane operator. Over the years he advanced in his skills and professionalism, and eventually became a CCO certified hydraulic operator. Alvin has been one of our large hydraulic specialists for several years. He has over 7500 hours accident free with Team Heaton.We are proud to honor Alvin Hancock for his contributions and commitment to our safety program.
