🔹 TAKE 5 – K: KNOW 🔹

KNOW the controls to mitigate hazards, understand your crew’s roles, and if you’re ever unsure—STOP and seek guidance.

Taking the time to KNOW these elements doesn’t just protect you—it empowers your team to work safely and efficiently. Clear communication about hazards and expectations keeps everyone on the same page and prevents accidents.

✅ Identify and control hazards
✅ Ensure every crew member knows their role
✅ Ask questions & speak up—safety is a team effort!

A well-informed crew is a safe crew. Let’s keep each other accountable and make safety our top priority!

Our Inside Sales Team traded in their hard hats for hammers last week, joining forces with Habitat for Humanity to help build a home for a deserving family.

At Buckner, we believe in lifting more than just heavy loads—we lift our communities, too.

It’s an honor to support our local Habitat for Humanity and their mission to give back in a meaningful way.

A huge shoutout to our team for stepping up and making a difference!
