Winter Storm Grayson

We were recently hit with snow. A lot of snow. Winter storm Grayson definitely didn’t hold out on us, that’s for sure. We definitely didn’t get the worst of it. Maine reported 20 inches, it snowed a consistent 2-3 inches per hour for five hours straight in New York yesterday, and Boston got not only 13 inches of snow, …

Blood Borne Pathogens

Recently, our employees at George Nice & Sons had a safety meeting about something pretty serious: blood borne pathogens. OSHA states: “It should be noted that, while the bloodborne pathogens standard does not apply to construction work, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.12(b), it does apply to employees performing maintenance activities who experience occupational exposure …

Hurricane Aftermath Boosts Construction Workforce

What has resulted from a terrible hurricane season is a strong need for construction professionals. Which is great news for those of us in the industry. But it’s going to take some time for training. Schools in Texas and Florida are on it. Lone Star College in Houston has added 3-6 week courses in framing, …

5 Organizations to Donate To This Season

This time of year we can’t help but reflect upon all the things we’re thankful for. We’re thankful for great friends and loving families, and many other things. But it’s also a time we can’t help but think about those with less than us. Over the years, George Nice & Sons has contributed to the …

The Effects of Infrastructure on Businesses and Communities

The thought occurred to me after hearing about the recent weight restrictions on the Robert O. Norris Bridge: our nation’s infrastructure has a huge effect on businesses, but especially in our small towns, like the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula communities. Since there are only two ways to cross the Rappahannock River to the Northern …

2017 Halloween Party

We were all gathered for a meeting in the office sometime in August or early September when we decided randomly to throw a Halloween party for our guys. You know, let them get off a little early that day and have some food cooked up at the shop when they arrive. We had bags of …

Worker Fatalities on Construction Sites + How to Prevent Them

Almost half (46%) of all work zone worker fatalities from 2003-2010 were caused by being struck by a vehicle. And it’s surprising that only 2% of those workers were killed by drunk drivers. From 2003 to 2015, a total of 1,324 work zone fatalities were recorded, which is about 102 per year. New methods and …

New Safety Regulations Introduced in NYC

The New York City Council has just approved legislation to up their safety training requirements from just 10 hours to 40 hours by September 2020. At least 40 workers lost their lives just this past year on construction sites throughout the city. In an effort to combat the growing number of construction fatalities, NYC Council …
