by Jon M. Casey As safety expert and consultant, Steve Roberts began his talk the room grew still. The silence of the 300 attendees gathered for the Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association (PACA) annual meeting, demonstrated the interest that business leadership and management has for improved safety awareness. Roberts’ presentation was

part of PACA’s two day event in November. Roberts’ People Based Safety™ program, “Leadership Principles for Achieving a Total Safety Culture,” served as the basis for his presentation.

Roberts, a senior partner at Safety Performance Solutions, Inc. a Blacksburg, VA safety consulting and training firm, assured listeners that there are valuable ways to improve safety aware-

ness within a business. He said it just takes time and devotion from company leadership, to implement these concepts. Once this kind of thinking is in place on the job, a total safety culture will benefit everyone.

“Workers need to feel like they are personally in control of their own safety,” he said. “As leaders, it is your responsibility to help provide the appropriate resources to make this happen.”

He said a total safety culture has several dimensions. They include leadership, systems, behavior, employee engagement, conditions and the people themselves. With each of these, Roberts asked a provoking question to stimulate participation.

“Are senior leaders committed to improving the culture and do they demonstrate safety as a value?” he began. “Do organizational systems support the ‘right’ behaviors and are they consistant with organizational values? Do people perform the ‘right’ behaviors? Are employees actively involved in making valuable contributions? Does the physical environment (the interaction of equipment, facilities, procedures, and people) allow safe performance? Do People have positive perceptions of themselves, their coworkers and the organization? Are they willing to go ‘above the call of duty’?”

He offered that in a successful safety culture, leaders focus on the process.

He said that statistics alone are not

Roberts describes how a safety culture can be fostered once all the various aspects of the new way of doing business are initiated. sufficient indicators of safety performance. If leaders over emphasize the measurements of what makes the job safe, workers often will be discouraged.

Safety expert says Total Safety Culture improves worker safety

Live demonstration brings home the message of safe digging

by Jon M. Casey

With the rescue team busy working to remove the victim from the demonstration pit, Alan Hausman, spokesman for the PA Urban Search and Rescue Strike Team 1 (walking toward camera on left), describes their activities.

In a recent safety report posted on the Center for warnings and ongoing lunchbox training sessions, Disease Control and Prevention website, The National dozens of workers lose their lives every year.

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) One of the ways that seems to have a lasting review of national databases reported that, “trenching impression on workers, is through live demonstraand excavation hazards during construction activities tions like the one that took place during the Western resulted in 488 deaths between 1992 and 2000 — an Pennsylvania Safety Day held Sept. 13, 2012 at the average of 54 fatalities each year. Sixty eight percent Cranberry Township Public Works facility in of those fatalities occurred in companies with fewer Cranberry, PA. Hosted by Pennsylvania One Call than 50 workers. Forty six percent of the deaths System, Inc. and sponsored by a host of state and occurred in small companies with 10 or fewer regional utilities and support industries, the daylong workers. Hazards associated with trench work and event was the last of three, annual events that take excavation are recognized and preventable, yet place in the east, central and western portions of the injuries and fatalities associated with these hazards state. continue to occur.”

A highlight at the Western Safety Day was the When underground utilities are in need of repair or trench rescue demonstration performed by the PA replacement construction crews face the ongoing Urban Search and Rescue Team for Region 13 from opportunity for trench collapse. Safety experts work nearby Pittsburgh. During the hour long demonstradiligently to heighten worker’s awareness about the tion, workers saw the painstaking efforts that go into hazards that they face as they on the job. Likewise, a trench rescue operation. It soon became clear how contractors too, stress the importance of worker challenging it is to save the lives of those who are safety, especially when it comes to working in or trapped in a trench collapse.

Sadly, most of these scenarios turn into a victim around open trenches. Nevertheless, despite repeated

Early assessment of the situation includes laying down support material around the pit and testing the atmosphere at the top, middle and bottom depths within the opening. A blower (R) is being assembled to pump fresh air into the hole.

The “worker” is raised from the pit and placed onto a backboard for transport to a medical facility. recovery rather than a worker rescue. That is because the damage done by trench sidewall collapse is so swift and complete. In most cases, there is little time to save the worker once buried beneath tons of earth and stone.

Alan Hausman, spokesperson for the PA Urban Search and Rescue Team, said that their team trains monthly to prepare for emergencies that may come their way. They are skilled in saving victims of building collapse, trench collapse and other kinds of emergencies that require the rescue and recovery of people in these dire circumstances. He said their team spends one eight hour day each month in training practice. Their training alternates each month between skills training and actual onsite recovery practice, like that presented this day. He said the year 2012 thus far, has been relatively peaceful. At the time, only one rescue event had taken place in the region.

dures. Hausman explained how various team members are cross trained to perform any of several tasks at the rescue site. Each member also has their own specialty responsibilities when the rescue begins. As the rescue unfolds, the site commander oversees the ongoing extraction process, while team members put supporting materials and safety equipment in place.

A team member measures air quality for oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide gas and explosive gasses. Then, fresh air is pumped into the trench to keep the air quality high and rescuers and workers safe. Sidewall supports and appropriate bracing like Paratech Rescue Support Struts, are installed before the extraction process can begin.

At the earliest possible time, a responder trained in first aid, is one of the first to enter the trench. That person checks the vital signs of the victim or victims.

Following that, it is a matter of minutes until the trapped person is lifted to safety before being taken to a nearby medical facility for further care.

Hausman stressed the importance of construction workers to follow proper trenching procedures to avoid the need for a rescue such as this. He emphasized how little time the victim buried in a trench collapse has to live, once the cave-in takes place.

Additionally, he stressed the importance of using proper trench shoring before going into the open trench as well. More importantly, he said that workers should refuse to go into an open trench if proper safety measures are not in place. He said the speed of the collapse and the weight of the earth that makes up the damaging forces that kill and injure workers in this kind of accident, are no match for the worker who thinks they can outrun a trench collapse if it should happen. The trench will win, every time!

Hausman said that Homeland Security and local and regional municipalities fund teams like this one.

Since they are so labor intensive, they require a large team of dedicated volunteers. The additional training needed to qualify as a team member, is extensive.

That requires an extraordinary level of commitment and devotion.

As an observer of this demonstration, I found the somber mood that came over the crowd as they gathered to watch, noteworthy. It was clear to me to see that the seriousness of what takes place during a

They are trained to maintain a 3-foot minimum distance from the opening. trench rescue effort, gave spectators much to think about. I suspect that in the past, there were several in the audience who had gone into trenches without the proper safety protection in place. Like those who hosted this rescue demonstration as part of a safety awareness program, I’m hoping that the workers might think twice before they consider going into that unshored trench again. I suspect that they will.

Alan Hausman, spokesman for the PA Urban Search and Rescue Strike Team 1, describes the activities of his team members as they simulate a rescue of a “trapped” worker in the bottom of a trench.

With the sidewalls secured, rescue team member descend into the hole to begin removing the victim from the pit.

Early responders to most incidents are firefighters who are trained on how to approach a trench collapse situation.

Safety from 3 Roberts noted that leaders need to demonstrate good safety practices.

They need to teach the employees and then hold the employees accountable for the things within their control. “The test should be, ‘What did you do toward safety,’” he said. “What you are doing right is most important!”

“Leaders understand the role of consequences,” he said. “Safe behaviors often lack natural rewarding consequences. Safety is a continuous fight with human nature.”

Roberts said at risk behaviors are often more comfortable, convenient and faster than safe behaviors. That is one challenge that workers face to work more safely. Other factors include risky behaviors seldom result in negative consequences powerful enough to discourage their performance. Risky behavior is often reinforced by the work culture on the job. He said that initial safety awareness and carefulness on the part of the workers is often short

lived because of a natural learning process called “drift,” i.e. minor changes over time do not have major consequences.

According to Roberts, effective leaders listen and remove barriers to the success of worker safety programs. He noted that there are several effective ways to do this, with both active listening and non-verbal communication as well. Understanding the people is critical.

Common barriers to a successful observation process, where leadership is looking to diag-

nose activities that lead to unsafe situations and injury, include lack of trust on the part of the workers. They often feel that disciplinary action will take place if true activities are demonstrated during these times. At other times, leaders might not recognize hazardous behaviors and conditions. “Easy” observations like noticing the lack of proper PPE on workers are common while more difficult situations go unnoticed.

In other situations, Roberts said there is a low risk perception among the

workers. They don’t actually believe they are at risk. Accordingly, they are not motivated to do anything “extra” in the way of safety. At other times, workers and leaders do not believe that this observation process actually targets the true hazards.

They do not believe that the company is willing to correct the hazards once they are identified. Oftentimes, there is inadequate follow-up on the part of leadership, which puts the employee in a place where they feel like leadership does not care.

Roberts concluded by

Page 7 • Hard Hat News • January 2013

Safety from 6 saying that effective safety leaders promote personal safety. They encourage ownership and choice when it comes to being involved. These leaders look beyond the numbers and set expectations more often by modeling the kind of safety awareness that they are expecting from the workforce.

Once the system for quality safety awareness is in place, leadership provides feedback to reinforce the positive changes that are taking place. At the same time, everyone strives to im-

Roberts said that data alone is not the ideal way to look at safety in the workplace. prove their recognition of hazards and offer ways to correct the problems. Finally, the leaders focus on the systems that have been put into place to reduce the number of injuries on the job. With everyone working together and leadership showing the way, the work-

force is able to enjoy safety excellence that is new and lasting on the job. For more information on Safety Performance Solutions, Inc. visit their website at www.safetyperformance.come or give Steve a call at 540-951-3993.

Trenching and Excavation are activities that are common in the construction and mining industries; they are also among the most dangerous.

“OSHA defines an excavation as any man made cut, cavity, trench or depression in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal. A trench is defined as a narrow underground excavation that is deeper than it is wide, and is no wider than 15-feet.”

Hazards that occur during trenching and excavation include accidents with mobile equipment, falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and the most common hazard — cave-ins. These hazards are responsible

• It is important to check for atmospheric hazards such as low oxygen, hazardous fumes and toxic gases.

There are some general safety rules that should be followed when doing an excavation or trenching project: • Keep heavy equipment away from the edges of the trench; • It is recommended that excavated soils and other materials be kept at least 2-feet away from the edges of the trench; and

OSHA requires that trenches be inspected daily and as conditions change by a competent

person before workers are permitted to enter to ensure the elimination of excavation hazards.

A competent person is someone who has been trained to identify existing and predictable hazards or working conditions that are hazardous, unsanitary or dangerous to employees. This person is authorized to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate or control these hazards and conditions.

Never enter an unprotected trench! “Trenches 5-feet deep or greater require a protective system unless the excavation is made entirely in stable rock. Trenches 20-feet deep or greater require that the protective system be designed by a registered professional engineer or be based on tabulated data prepared and/or approved by a registered professional engineer.”

systems are shielding, shoring and sloping.

Shoring prevents cave-ins by holding up and bracing the walls of an excavation site. Shielding devices also known as trench boxes aren’t designed to prevent cave-ins but instead they do just as their name suggests, they shield workers should there be a cave-in.

Even with both of these systems in place, workers will only be protected if they are in the area where these systems are in place. Sloping is when the trench walls are cut back to an angle that reduces the chance of a cave-in.

OSHA schedules sakeholder meetings to discuss preventing injuries and fatalities from vehicle backovers WASHINGTON — The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has scheduled five informal stakeholder meetings to solicit comments on preventing injuries and fatalities from vehicle backovers. The purpose of the meetings is to gather information and evaluate backover risks across various industries, determine whether or how backovers may be prevented by new technology or other methods, and discuss the effectiveness of those measures. The meetings will be held Jan. 89, 2013, in Washington, D.C. and Feb. 5, 2013, in Arlington, Texas.

OSHA published a Request for Information on backover hazards in the Federal Register on March 29, 2012. The agency received responses from individuals and organizations about how workers get injured and what solutions exist to prevent injury and death. These stakeholder meetings will provide employers, workers, safety professionals and equipment makers with an opportunity to inform OSHA about ways to address backover risks.

OSHA will hold the first round of meetings at 9 a.m. on Jan. 8, 2013, and at 9 a.m. on Jan. 9, 2013, at the U.S. Department of Labor, Room C-5515,

rooms 1A and B, 200 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20210. The second round of meetings will convene at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Feb. 5, 2013, at the University of Texas at Arlington, OSHA Education Center, Bluebonnet Ballroom in the University Center, 300 W. First St., Arlington, Texas. Individuals interested in participating must register electronically, by fax or mail. See the Federal Register notice for registration details.

Seventy nine workers were killed in 2011 when backing vehicles or mobile equipment crushed them against an object or rolled over them, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. For information on backover hazards and preventing backovers or to view a prevention video, visit OSHA’s Preventing Backovers Web page.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees.

OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Land Improvement Contractors of America (LICA) “Anybody who moves dirt should consider joining the Land improvement Contractors of America (LICA),” said organization CEO, Gerald “Jerry” Biuso, Sr. “Our members are anyone who is in and around earthmoving; those who change and improve the landscape,” Biuso explained. “LICA members, range from owner operator contractors to large construction businesses with 250 employees. We have a cross section of people and companies, all who are doing something positive with the land.”

Through its national office in Lisle, IL, LICA and its 25 state chapters, strive to improve members’ business climate. LICA works for better legislation and regulations and keeps members abreast of the latest regulations changes affecting their operations. LICA also provides training in the latest technology.

History of LICA For over sixty years, LICA contractors have led the way for our country’s growth and expansion. These contractors, provide a wide range of services that

include grading, excavating, drainage, landscaping, paving, wetland development and site preparation just to name a few. Our contractors work in cities, on farms, ranches and in rural areas. They work with dedication and commitment to the professional conservation of soil and water.

On a national level, LICA is in the midst of aggressive growth and it has increased its membership nearly 25 percent in the past three years. This growth represents not just an increase in the total number of members, but it also reflects an increase in younger business owners who are in the peak growth years of their own businesses. Accordingly, it too represents geographic expansion and a wider diversity of business types in areas where it has not always had a past presence.

Additionally, both national LICA and state chapters offer benefits that are available to contractor members as well as associate members. These include a comprehensive Safety Manual, Petrocon (a commodities program program designed to reduce operating

LICA offers one of the broadest benefit programs of any trade association its size and it continues to shop for opportunities that increase the value of membership. The decision to add a new benefit program is always based on three primary criteria: 1. Is it the best value for cost program of its nature?

2. Does it offer our members a significant benefit that they will want to take advantage of themselves; and 3. Does it offer our members the opportunity to expand their own businesses’ program of benefits to their employees?

The purpose of this 160 page comprehensive safety manual is to provide LICA members with recommended safe operating procedures. It outlines essential techniques that help protect people and equipment. The manual is designed to serve as an individual company’s safety program or it can supplement an existing program. It contains toolbox talks, equipment and jobsite inspection forms and much more.

The manual is worth thousands of dollars, yet it is FREE to every contractor member. For the contractors’ convenience, a CD version of the complete manual is included.

Club Colors is an added benefit to safety conscious members. Through the Club Colors and the LICA partnership, members have access to high visibility safety work wear that helps keep workers safe by making them stand out on the job. The safety gear also provides exceptional branding opportunities for employers since the company’s name can appear on every item, and thus on every employee on the job site.

With Club Colors, LICA members have access to ANSI and OSHA certified work wear. LICA members receive a 15 percent discount off all branded items, which encourages employers to use the work wear thus ensuring that both budgetary and safety goals are met.

National Convention As a way of helping LICA members network and

Preprinted forms like these are included in the LICA Contractor Safety Management Plan handbook that comes as a part of contractor membership.

LICA's Contractor Safety Management Plan is an extremely useful tool for helping contractors of all sizes stay in compliance with OSHA and other governing agencies.

Hey Fred Fred Ode, CEO/Chairman, Foundation Software

Hey Fred Year end is always a hectic time in our office. I’m wondering what I should start thinking about and preparing for ahead of time to make year-end easier. Any suggestions?

- Andrew Hey Andrew You’re right. Year end can certainly be a hectic time for any business — especially contractors! Luckily, there

are a few things that you can start thinking about ahead of time to prepare for year end.

Payroll Procedures. Late November, right after Thanksgiving, is a great time to start looking at earnings reports to make sure that everything looks right for your employees with their year to date earning information.

This saves you from scrambling at the last minute to make adjustments so that all your numbers are set and you’re ready to print W2s.

Year end Forms: Tax forms and requirements change almost every year, so it’s a good idea to talk early with your accounting software company to find out which formats you should be using.

For instance, you could ask if you need

to buy preprinted forms for W2s and 1099s, or if they can be printed on plain white paper. Many accounting software companies may also have suggestions and incentives for certain vendors.

Meet with Your CPA. I highly advise meeting with your outside CPA to go over the numbers and to make sure everything is adding up for the year. This gives you plenty of time to make adjustments, and may even give you the opportunity to get a head start on thinking about budgets for the next year.

Year end Guidance from Your Software Company. A good accounting software company will offer year end documentation, such as a workbook, to guide you through all of the necessary procedures, like 1099s, W2s and clos-

ing out the accounting period. They may also offer webinars, both live and recorded, so that you can see these procedures happening step by step.

A little preparation goes a long way!

Good luck with your year end!

- Fred Call for Questions: Thank you for reading “Hey Fred!” CEO/chairman of Foundation Software, Fred Ode is here to answer any question you might have.

Plus, he loves getting e-mails, so send a question to heyfred@foundationsoft. com, and he’ll get you an answer. Your question may even make the Hard Hat News website. Thanks!

Limited funds are available. Approved recipients

will be notified by Building Foundation staff.

For more information on the Fund visit nybuildingfoundation.org or call 212-481-9230.

Western International, Inc. enhances its tank range with the FUELCUBE! CUBE has arrived to the market! Like its sister product the TRANSCUBE™, the FUELCUBE is a double walled tank that offers 110 percent secondary contain-

ment, eliminating the need for secondary containment pans. These tanks feature internal baffles that prevent fuel surges during movement.

The removable inner tank

offers easy access for routine cleaning, inspection and maintenance which extends the life of the tank. Featuring a fully contained equipment cabinet, all connection points are kept inside the unit, which protects the points from the elements and keeps drips and spills in the tank, where they belong.

With its redefined engineering and operational feature, FUELCUBE tanks can price less than a traditional fuel tank plus containment pan.

Available models include the FCG250 (250 gallons), FCG500 (500 gallons) and FCG1000 (1000 gallons).

Jim Church, vice president of BBL Construction Services accepted the 2012 Jeffrey J. Zogg Build NY Award for BBL’s work on the St. Peters Hospital Patient Care Pavilion and Diagnostic and Treatment Platform in Albany, NY. The award was presented at the Associated General Contractors of New York State (AGC NYS), 26th annual statewide Construction Industry Conference held December 4-6 in Saratoga Springs, NY. The Pavilion involved expansion of the cardiovascular and general surgery facilities, post partum and nursery, pharmacy and endoscopy, adding 24 Operating Rooms (OR) including 1 hybrid OR, 5 procedure rooms, 92 Pre-Op/PACU beds, 90 patient beds and an additional 10,000 square-feet of related renovation work and electrical infrastructure upgrades throughout the existing hospital. Construction of the project involved demolition of existing buildings adjacent to and structurally attached to the existing hospital, as

well as constructing a new building between existing buildings and interconnected to the existing facility, all on a highly congested site constrained by two city streets.

The Build New York Award winners are selected based on outstanding managing skills, imagination, overcoming challenging and unusual circumstances, scheduling accomplishments and project innovation by the contractor/manager and the entire project team including the project owner, architect, subcontractors and suppliers. All project entries were reviewed and judged by a 12 member jury of industry peers.

REAL PEOPLE ANSWER THE PHONE

For most of his career, Rieken has specialized on the Terex asphalt paving equipment line, which includes traditional and Remix Anti-Segregation System pavers, the MS series of material transfer devices and the RoadMix paver and material transfer vehicle. A mechanical engineer by trade, Rieken started his career in 1977 as a design engineer for the asphalt plant division of the Terex Cedarapids legacy brand. A year later, he took the position of product engineer for the original BSF paver series.

He worked in Research and Development in the 1980s on the first Greyhound paver series, Remix pavers and MS mat smoothness and pick-up machines. In addition to his research and development and marketing work for the paving equipment line, he was involved with asphalt rollers, milling machines and for a brief time, worked as a Terex as-

phalt mobile equipment district manager.

Long a proponent of the variable pitch delivery auger reblending concept of the Terex Remix and RoadMix pavers and material transfer vehicles, Rieken has also worked in paver marketing to promote these machines to state department of transportation officials.

“With the current state of the economy, contractors must lay the highest quality mat possible,” says Rieken. “The aggressive reblending capabilities of Terex Remix and RoadMix paving equipment eliminate material and thermal segregation, which increases mat quality.”

Rieken’s time with the company has always involved travel to customer jobsites. In the field, he gathers customer feedback on paver performance and operator needs and relays this to the Terex paver design team in Oklahoma City for product improvement projects.

Additionally, Rieken assists customers with troubleshooting paving equipment and gives operators tips on improving mat quality. “I help educate customers on proper machine setup, so they get the most from the paver,” he says When not in the field with customers, he’s found in the classroom,

training equipment operators and service technicians. He teaches customers basic and advanced techniques for paver and screed setup, equipment service, and combatting segregation to improve mat quality.

Over the years, Rieken has helped to streamline and simplify paver training sessions offered through Terex Roadbuilding University by focusing on paver components, so technicians can work on any series of Terex paver.

In his off time, Rieken can be found at the GoKart racetrack his family owns in Delaware, Iowa, or at Rieken’s Racing, his family owned Go-Kart retail and service shop in Marion, Iowa. Karting since he was 14, Rieken is a three time Grand National Karting champion. A Vietnam War veteran, Rieken lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with his family.

Rieken mentions that being a principal of the family owned Go-Kart shop makes him a better Terex employee and more responsive to paving equipment customers. “I can see both sides of the business and put myself in anyone’s shoes, from the screed operator to the company owner,” he says.

It’s his love for the paving business that keeps Rieken enthusiastic about his service posi-

Bill Rieken tion. “I work with high tech paving equipment every day,” he adds. “It’s a challenge, and there’s always something to learn. I like that.”

Yokohama Tire Corporation’s Takayuki Hamaya promoted to Chief Operating Officer FULLERTON, CA — Yasushi Tanaka, president and CEO of Yokohama Tire Corporation, announced the promotion of Takayuki Hamaya to YTC chief operating officer, effective immediately. According to Tanaka, Hamaya will also retain his position as company executive vice president (EVP) and chief financial officer (CFO).

Tanaka said Hamaya will now assume executive responsibility for the following functions: Consumer, Commercial, OTR and OE sales, accounting and finance, corporate planning, supply chain and operations, as well as internal audit.

“Mr. Hamaya’s promotion corresponds with our continued efforts to improve the service we provide to our dealers while delivering the best products to the market,” said Tanaka. “I expect Mr. Hamaya to continue his strong leadership and valued contributions to YTC.” Hamaya, who graduated from Senshu University in 1988 with a degree in Economics, and earned

an MBA from Alaska Pacific University in 1992, joined The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. (YTC’s parent company) later the same year. In 2004, he was named president of Yokohama Europe, and in 2005 became president of several Yokohama sales companies (in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden and Russia).

In 2007, Hamaya returned to Japan following an appointment as general manager, secretariat to work directly with then President of Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., Tadanobu Nagumo.

In 2009, Hamaya was promoted to president of Yokohama Tire Philippines (Manufacturing) and president of Yokohama Tire Sales Philippines. In 2011, he moved to the United States and was named EVP and CFO of Fullerton, California based Yokohama Tire Corporation.

Yokohama Tire Corporation is the North American manufacturing and marketing arm of Tokyo, Japan based The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., a

Takayuki Hamaya global manufacturing and sales company of premium tires since 1917. Servicing a network of more than 4,500 points of sale in the U.S., Yokohama Tire Corporation is a leader in technology and innovation. The company’s complete product line includes the all-new AVID Ascend® — the first mass market tire using Yokohama’s breakthrough orange oil technology — as well as tires for high performance, light truck, passenger car, commercial truck and bus, and off the road mining and construction applications.

RENSSELAER, IN -—Talbert Manufacturing, a leader in the specialty-built trailer and transport system industry, is offering a special 75th Anniversary trailer package for a limited time.

Talbert is commemorating its milestone 75th year in business in 2013. To celebrate, the company is offering and optional, distinctive anniversary package on select 2013 models. Greg Smith, VP of sales and marketing at Talbert, says the anniversary option marks an important event for the company.

“Not many trailer companies have been in business for 75 years, and fewer yet can say they have had customers with them for the majority of those years,” he said. “This 75th anniversary commemorative trailer has significant meaning for our company and the entire Talbert team. We want to share this celebration with our dealers and customers who have spent so many years as our partners, as well as those new to Talbert.”

A limited number of the anniversary

edition trailers are available on Talbert’s popular 55 ton series trailers, specifically the 55CC, 55SA, 55SA-RC and 55SA-HX models.

The basic anniversary package includes cosmetic detailing throughout the length of the trailer, topped off with special Talbert 75th anniversary decals.

Featured on both sides of the trailer, these decals appear on bright stainless steel in each of the gooseneck insets. In addition, there are special stainless steel insets in the rear of the trailer as well as stainless steel mud flap brackets with throwback script lettering of “Talbert” cutout. Customers also are able to request a “Made Especially For…” custom placard decal that will be affixed to the gooseneck.

Outriggers are powder coated and metallic silver in color to stand out from the anniversary trailer body. Special 75th anniversary conspicuity tape lines the sides of each anniversary trailer.

The trailer is offered in standard Talbert Red or Talbert Black and will feature a
