Wilhelm's rodbusters have shown how professional they are during their time at Louisville VA! From maintaining an orderly work area to climbing rebar walls, these guys will get the job done safely. The crew is led by Mike Rouse, a longstanding member of Iron Workers Local 70. Time and time again they have demonstrated:
  • Compliance with fall protection (maintaining 100% tie off when exposed to a fall)
  • Well executed hot work tasks (Hot Work permit completed and submitted to WTJV in a timely manner, area clear from combustibles, fire extinguisher and fire watch)
  • Safe hoisting operations (never under suspended loads, use of tag lines, and standard lift plans completed daily, etc.)
We thank you for your commitment to Safety & Health!
