The meeting is centered around questions and concerns, and problems are answered. Pearson attributes ISM success at the site to the partnership built between crafts and management. On most job sites, management introduces a program and lets it wane. Here, management gets involved and realizes it's for the long term. John Bartlett, Local 433, Iron Workers, concurs with Pearson.
Upper management lends so much support.
According to Sparks the next challenge, now that the project reached verification, is to make sure the program is here to stay. We need to keep focused and a management commitment to keep it going. Sparks would like to see the project go to the next level and tackle quality, scheduling, and costs the same way as they do safety. Eric Pearson and John Bartlett review work instructions for the plate-load test before they start work for the day.
