DICA Invited to EUFMC 2016
DICA will exhibit June 5th-8th at the 63rd annual Electric Utility Fleet Managers Conference (EUFMC) 2016 in Williamsburg, Va.
Since 2014, DICA has been invited to participate in this unique event for utility fleet managers. EUFMC attracts fleet executives from over 70 companies in the U.S., Canada, and South America, which features presentations on best practices.
DICA will display SafetyTech Outrigger Pads and FiberMax Crane Pads, products ideally suited to utility maintenance and construction applications. DICA representatives will also be on hand to discuss how to provide safe outrigger support for digger derricks, bucket trucks, and cranes.
Notable sessions for the conference include the importance of safety on and off the job, how to develop a great team and how to limit liability within your fleet.
A brief overview of Tony Crow’s, It’s not just about me, safety message can be viewed on the INJAM website and is well worth watching. Thank you to Tony for sharing his story for the benefit of others.
Safety Session
I N J A M-It’s Not Just About Me— The importance of SAFETY 24/7 at work and at home will be on the agenda at EUFMC’s highly popular annual session on safety. Blinded in an accident, this year’s speaker, Tony Crow, founder of the non-profit corporation INJAM-It’s Not Just About Me, will share humor and real-life stories about how he is living as a blind person in a sighted world.
Developing a Great Team
NFL Legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Singletary will address EUFMC as the featured dinner speaker during the 2016 conference. Drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1981, Singletary became a starter in the Bears lineup in his rookie season, went on to start 172 games for the team during his 12-year career, and finished as the Bears’ first or second leading tackler each of his last 11 seasons. Selected to play in a team record 10 Pro Bowls, Singletary was All-Pro eight times, All-NFC every year from 1983 until 1991, and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1985 and 1988. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
