Right now with my group I have 3 apprentices that are two of them are first years and 1 is just starting his third year.
0:25
They ask a lot of questions because we told them that that's what they need to do is ask a lot of questions.
0:33
The only way you can learn is the only way to be safe is ask the questions, talk to those.
0:38
No, if they don't know, they'll call somebody higher up the chain that does and keep looking until we get the right answers to know how to do it the right way.
0:49
The Safeway just ask questions.
0:54
Most important thing, the biggest thing I, I, I tell all the guys that I work with is that safety is not always the leader's job.
1:06
It's each individual person.
1:08
The safety belongs to you.
1:11
I should never, I should always be stopped.
1:15
If I'm ever telling someone to do something they're not comfortable with, I they they should feel comfortable enough to stop me because that's basically what we tell everybody.
1:25
No one is too important to instruct you on doing something unsafe.
1:30
There's no shortcuts.
1:31
And always have to pay attention to what feels comfortable to you.
1:38
The biggest thing that I personally learned though, is that I I can never outsource my own safety.
1:51
I can never trust any rules.
1:55
I know we have lots of them, but I can never trust any rules or guidelines about my own safety.
2:00
I have to own that myself.
2:04
And if I'm working next to somebody, I need to own their safety as well.
2:10
They're with me, they're working with me.
2:12
We're A-Team.
2:13
No one just decides to create a rule, to create a rule.
2:18
Rules have been created because something has happened, someone messed up, we've learned from someone's mistake and we've had to take a large a hard lesson and learn the hard way.
2:31
And that's why we do.
2:32
And we're so strict on a lot of these rules is to take what someone else had to go through so that no one else ever has to.
2:42
And because end of the day, like we tell everybody and when we do our end of the day Kaizon, we want to make sure you leave the same way you got here.
2:50
And that can't be more stressed in the field.
2:54
And the most of our leaders say the same thing.
2:57
We have a lot of leadership that has been with interstates for a long time, have been there, done that, seen the bad, seen the good.
3:06
Know what the results of the good are, know what the results of the bad are.
3:10
Results of the good are a whole lot better.
