We have all experienced slipping, tripping, stumbling or falling. Usually the only result is that you feel silly, embarrassed, and perhaps got a scrape or bruise. But falls kill 1,200 people at work a year. They are the biggest cause of accidental death in the workplace. More than 33,000 people are disabled every year from falling down stairs, while many more people receive other injuries like strains, sprains, and fractures.
The following is excerpted from an article by Ulf Wolf, which was originally published in Construction Dimensions, a monthly publication by the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry.
Accidents occur for many reasons. In most jobsites people tend to look for "things" or “people” to blame when an accident happens, because it's easier than looking for "root causes."
MAREK was honored to work with Turner Construction in building a lounge that reached new heights in both style and design. Airports can often be a place of manic rushing, tempers and complete agitation. This lounge was created to help those customers that purchase a Polaris first – or business class ticket a break from the headache that people often carry with them when they travel. The Polaris lounge features 13 luxurious shower suites, a private dining area with table service, and 191 seats for travelers to utilize before their flight.
MAREK partnered with Austin Commercial to build a stadium that matches the caliber of its athletics for Texas A&M University. Our skilled craft-workers completed the drywall and ceilings throughout the facility. Sound Absorbent Wall units were installed throughout the project to help with sound projection and protection.
The state of the art softball stadium is three levels, 125,000 square feet and will accommodate around 2,000 fans. The stadium includes club level seating, two luxury suites, a press box with two radio booths and a press area.
