Completing
five years’ service
to Scioto just last month,
the newest Scioto Club member
has proven to be a valuable
asset to the MAP Weld
department’s environmental
and recycling efforts.
Don
describes, “My job is to
help MAP comply with all
environmental requirements
and to help improve, monitor
and control environmental
impacts of MAP, to help implement
methods to prevent
pollution, conserve natural |
resources
and reduce waste.”
In
this unique position, Don works directly with Map
Weld’s Environmental Representative. His main responsibilities include
emptying all of the recycling bins throughout the Weld shop, and completing
daily audits to ensure that flammable conditions do not exist around the welding
equipment
that can cause fires and subsequent downtime. He also cleans up any spills
and removes scrap bodies from the shop by forklift.
Clearly,
teamwork is considered one of the most enjoyable
aspects of the job. “When you have a problem that seems bigger than you
can handle, you
can always count on other |
Scioto
associates to help
you,” said Don. Don is also proud of developing a trusted working relationship
with the client on environmental control issues.
Account
Manager Steve Gadd believes that Don’s success can
be attributed to dependability and flexibility. Steve
says, “Since I came into shop nearly three years ago, Don has never missed
a scheduled day of work. He has been available to work overtime during Production
Saturdays,
and usually takes his vacations
to coincide with Shutdowns.”
A 40-year
resident of Belle Center, Don has been married
to Carole for 38 years and has
two children and two grandchildren. |
