Treating the Team and Educating on Safety

He used this opportunity to educate his team about the risks of heat-related illnesses, a serious concern in the construction industry, especially during the summer months.
As the team cooled off with their snow cones, Sean discussed the importance of staying hydrated, recognizing the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and taking regular breaks in the shade. By combining a thoughtful gesture with essential safety information, Sean reinforced his commitment to both the morale and safety of his crew.
