He is a supervisor for AGF C&amp;T Alberta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trent has extensive experience, having worked for many years in the industry. For the past two years, he has been supervisor on the Arris project in downtown Calgary. When completed, this project will comprise two towers: one with 44 storeys and another with 25.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am very familiar with this site, since I have been there many times. Receiving and storing the rebar is a challenge there because there is little available space.&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe health and safety requirements are also very stringent. Our customers expect us to deliver a good health and safety performance along with good productivity, in terms of hours per tonne per day and per week. This is precisely the challenge that Trent has met by masterfully managing a team of 10 to 12 steelworkers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In two years, we have been able to maintain this performance without a single lost-time accident!<br \/>\nOne thing I noticed on my most recent visit: there were two women working as part of our on-site installation team, something we don&rsquo;t often see in our industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Great performances across the board<\/h3>\n<p>In the past 10 months, Trent&rsquo;s team has installed 2,400 tonnes of steel in 15,000 hours worked. His average is 240 tonnes per month, for an average of 1,500 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There have been only three minor health and safety incidents so far. The last time I visited the site, everyone was wearing their personal safety equipment, risk analyses for jobs had been done, and a health and safety meeting had been held!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The customer was happy to see us and told me he was very satisfied with our work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Trent and his team of steelworkers, and to our health and safety advisor, Chris MacDonald.&nbsp;<br \/>\nYou&rsquo;re doing a great job: you&rsquo;re a fantastic team and a perfect illustration of AGF&rsquo;s values for our customers.&nbsp; Productivity goes hand in hand with health and safety: we have the proof!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2076.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>&iquest;Qui&eacute;n es Trent Guess?<\/h2>\n<p>Conoc&iacute; a Trent durante una de mis visitas de obra en Calgary. Trent es supervisor de AGF C&amp;T Alberta.<\/p>\n<p>Es una persona con experiencia y trabaja en la industria desde hace muchos a&ntilde;os. Desde hace dos a&ntilde;os es supervisor del proyecto Arris en el centro de la ciudad de Calgary. Una vez que est&eacute; terminado, el proyecto tendr&aacute; una torre de 44 pisos y otra de 25.<\/p>\n<p>Conozco bien esta obra ya que estuve ah&iacute; en varias ocasiones. La recepci&oacute;n y el almacenamiento de acero de refuerzo es un desaf&iacute;o ya que no hay mucho espacio disponible.<\/p>\n<p>Las exigencias de salud y seguridad ah&iacute; tambi&eacute;n son muy elevadas. Nuestros clientes exigen de nuestra parte a la vez un buen desempe&ntilde;o en salud y seguridad y una buena productividad en t&eacute;rminos de toneladas por hora por d&iacute;a y por semana. Es exactamente el desaf&iacute;o que Trent pudo superar al dirigir perfectamente a un equipo de aproximadamente 10 a 12 obreros.<\/p>\n<p>Es as&iacute; que, en dos a&ntilde;os, &iexcl;pudimos mantener este desempe&ntilde;o sin ning&uacute;n accidente de trabajo con p&eacute;rdida de tiempo!<\/p>\n<p>Hice un peque&ntilde;a observaci&oacute;n durante mi &uacute;ltima visita: la presencia de dos mujeres trabajando en nuestro equipo de instalaci&oacute;n en la obra. Esto es un poco raro en nuestro sector de actividad.<\/p>\n<h3>Excelente desempe&ntilde;o en todos los niveles<\/h3>\n<p>Durante los &uacute;ltimos diez meses, el equipo de Trent instal&oacute; 2400&nbsp;t de acero en 15&nbsp;000 horas de trabajo. Su promedio es de 240&nbsp;t por mes en un promedio de 1500 horas.<\/p>\n<p>Notamos solamente tres eventos menores en salud y seguridad hasta ahora. Durante mi &uacute;ltima visita, todos portaban su equipo de protecci&oacute;n individual, se realizaron los an&aacute;lisis de riesgo antes de los trabajos &iexcl;y ya se hab&iacute;a realizado una reuni&oacute;n de salud y seguridad!<\/p>\n<p>El cliente estaba contento de vernos y me mencion&oacute; que estaba satisfecho de nuestro trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>Felicidades a Trent y al equipo de obreros y tambi&eacute;n a nuestro asesor de salud y seguridad Chris MacDonald.<\/p>\n<p>Ustedes realizan un buen trabajo, &iexcl;son un equipo maravilloso! Representan bien los valores de AGF cuando est&aacute;n con nuestros clientes.<\/p>\n<p>La productividad va de la mano con la salud y la seguridad &iexcl;y tenemos la prueba!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Trent Guess?
