Heat Illness – Hydration Continues at Home
Hydration doesn’t stop when you leave the job site at the end of the day. During hot weather, you need to hydrate at home too. Continuing to drink water at night ensures your body is fully hydrated and prepared for work the next day. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, teas, and colas. These fluids tend to pull water from the body and promote dehydration.
If you feel ill from the heat, or if you notice the signs of heat illness in others, notify your foreman or superintendent FIRST.
Even if you feel the effects of heat illness after hours, you should contact your safety manager for help.
Save these contacts in your phone. You can call them at ANY TIME, even after traditional work hours.

Division 1910 is on a Roll!
Submitted by Kachine Creg, Project Manager
The Division 1910 team is delivering on the Four Hallmarks for customers across West Michigan. Here’s a quick look at what the crews have been up to lately.
- At a manufacturing facility in the Upper Peninsula, the team installed 91 piers with Kobelco. The depths on the piers ranged from 11 to 25 feet. Superintendent Rex Hart led the team with Mike Dulyea, Bryan Croel and Austin Gohl. This was a very fast job; it was only a week from lead discovery to job completion. The customer is very happy with our team. We could not have taken on this job without Tom Creg and crew, Brandon Kling and Gemichael Gardner stepping up back in Grand Rapids.
- We recently installed 9 tiebacks for a residential farmer. The customer wanted Rex to lead the crew, but he was at the manufacturing facility in the UP. We deployed a great team and delivered all Four Hallmarks in two days.
