Why a cleaner jobsite is a better jobsite
Jason Mollak, president of JPM Construction, wrote this great post discussing by keeping a clean jobsite is important.
“A year ago I started investing in equipment to keep our site cleaner, more organized, and safer. It started with three items: an Oneida Dust Deputy, a FastCap Saw Hood, and an iVac Switch. Since purchasing these items, not only have I changed my mindset about the value of providing a cleaner environment for our employees, but now I also keep an even sharper eye on how our site looks at all times.” Press here to read the entire article.
