ICBA’s Kerry Vital, Social Media Intern Danica, and Jordan Bateman (that's me!) visited ICBA member Bigfoot Crane Company Inc. last week and it may have been my favourite member visit Yeti. (Sorry for the dad joke…)Here are my 5 takeaways:🦺 Bigfoot puts safety first. It’s their top priority and you see it all over their HQ. Training areas, simulators, VR – it’s all about educating workers to be safe. Crane, hoist and other heavy equipment training, basic construction site safety training, rigging training: they do it all – and they do it very well. 📝 Bigfoot trains up to 300 people every week, including BC Hydro workers. They have a dedicated classroom space, and the day before our visit, they had 10 young people there learning about being an Heavy Equipment Operator.🏗️ With 46 staff, Bigfoot is growing in leaps and bounds. They sell cranes and accessories. They rent them. They service them. They set cranes up, they take them down. And they train thousands of people a year.🚧 Their HEO simulator is amazing. I got to “work” an excavator and a tower crane. Patience (and hand-eye coordination) make a good operator. I’ll be sticking to my day job, but it was a lot of fun.👣 Bigfoot is focusing on 5 key areas: leadership, culture, service, innovation and brand. Those aren’t just buzzwords – I can attest that every part of the operation I saw oozed these things. It was great to see.👷 And a bonus point: Bigfoot changes lives. Their team told us about training crane operators who had to leave manual labour or other jobs for various reasons, and their lives could have gone in a number of negative directions. Instead, they learned to operate cranes, got their Red Seal, and make great money working hard in the industry they love. One last dad joke: Bigfoot saw me today. I bet no one believes them. 🤦Keep up the amazing work Ralf and the whole Bigfoot team! Thanks for having us visit – we feel very fortunate to have you as part of ICBA and our local construction industry! ... See MoreSee Less

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY #161: Even GOATs Deal with Mental HealthWith Simone Biles dominating the Olympics this week, I thought it might be timely to re-post Wellness Wednesday #101, from May 2023:Simone Biles has been very outspoken about her own mental health and the need for people to talk more openly about the issues they face. “We’re not just entertainment, we’re humans and there are things going on behind the scenes that we’re also trying to juggle,” she said after the Tokyo Olympics. “Mental health, I think it should be talked about a lot, especially with athletes because I know some of us are going through the same things and we are always told to push through it but we’re all a little bit older now, we could kind of speak for ourselves.”You wouldn’t think a 4’8 Olympic gymnast would share much in common with the close to half million construction professionals working in Alberta and B.C. today – but she does. As we have learned from ICBA Wellness ambassador Corey Hirsch, sports and construction are fields where people have long been encouraged to suffer silently, due to the stigma around mental health.Biles, Hirsch and ICBA aim to break that attitude – and we’re working on it, one construction site at a time.------Each week, ICBA’s Jordan Bateman reflects on what we’ve learned as we participate in ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program. ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program is helping more than 100 companies and more than 10,000 construction professionals better understand mental health. This program is free for all ICBA members – check out icba.ca/wellness for details. ... See MoreSee Less
