Safer field move

If you're going to be late, call before the shift starts — not after. Chronic lateness gets you pulled from the job. Reliability is the single most important trait in your first year.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Showing up late repeatedly without communicating with the foreman. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
