This week I was shocked to find out that so many people speak about me and have good things to say. One of the other subcontractors’ bosses on site came to me and said, “Are you Theresa?” I said yes. He said, “It’s finally nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you.” I thought, me⁉️Now, who’s been speaking of me around #site? I've been on site for like 6 months and it seems a lot of people. Then yesterday one of the cleaners told me that too many people depend on me. She said that every time someone needs something my name is mentioned. They say, “Theresa will do it”, LOL. She said it’s time to delegate because that’s too much responsibility. I know that I take care a lot of staff on site. Over 100 to be exact but never knew my name would be mentioned all over the site and strangers would know of my name. 👷🏽♀️😂 Even when I go into the tank, the staff be so happy to see me. Literally, one told me last week that it's good to have me in there (in the tank). I’ve always let my work and work ethic speak for themselves, but knowing that people appreciate what I bring made my week. Like I said, I've never been afraid of hard work, never been in competition and always let my work do the talking. Do you think work ethics and quality have gone downhill? Are people lazy/companies too complacent, or do they lack the right tools such as experience, knowledge, support, etc.? #constructionindustry #constructuonsite #womeninconstruction #builtenvironment #womenbuildtoo #infrastructure #buildinginfrastructure #constructioncareers #engineeringcareers #oilandgas #sitemanagement #projectmanagement

Recently the NCHRP published a synthesis on #roadsafety audit practices at state DOTs. Road Safety Audits are one of my favorite topics, so I was eager to dig in.  ↓ My top 7 takeaways below and in the deck ↓ 1. Almost all State DOTs (43 of 48) conduct road safety audits. 2. Four states complete between 50 and 100 road safety audits per year, but the most common annual quantity range is between 1 and 10. I may be biased :) but I think this should go way up, considering takeaway # 7 below ↓ 3. Not all road safety audit recommendations must or can be implemented. 30 DOTs implement between 11% and 25% of road safety audit recommendations. Only 7 implement more than 75% of recommendations. I occasionally encounter agencies worried that they will be obligated to implement every RSA recommendation or else be liable, but this is simply not the case. 4. Planning stage road safety audits were the most frequent RSA type among state DOTs (the best stage for near-miss analysis), while only 6 DOTs ranked design stage RSAs as the most frequent stage. I have done more than 600 road safety audits at all stages and can personally attest to the value add at each stage. In my opinion, many agencies could improve their balance across stages to leverage more benefit from RSAs. 5. 66% of DOTs use near-miss analysis to help inform RSAs, although they generally do it infrequently. This is a major emerging trend with significant room for growth. I'm biased here as well, because I helped build MicroTraffic, the world's leading video-based near-miss analysis company that was deployed in 100 cities before being acquired by Miovision. I know this would not have been anywhere close to 66% just a few years ago, so this statistic made me proud. 6. Only 7% of DOTs use 1 to 3 RSA team members, while 23% use more than 10 team members! In my opinion, smaller teams would unlock more RSAs, since the top cited challenges to RSAs are staff availability (60%) and funding (37%). In limited applications I have recently started experimenting with solo RSAs, that is, doing them by myself. It is my responsibility as an engineer to know my limitations where I need additional support, and I don't need that for every project. Solo RSAs can keep costs under control and quality up in the right circumstances. 7. Speaking of value-add, the average benefit cost ratio of road safety audits in a 2012 FHWA study was 19.3 to 1, and in a 2016 Canadian study it was 55:1. Doing more RSAs at more stages using the best technology available is a no-brainer financially and completely worth the investment. With stats like these, the only significant liability seems to be in not doing RSAs.

When accept a job at JLL as Fire Life Safety System Eng, I expect a complete building has been erect and just doing maintenance for the system. Suddenly when jump to site, a lot of work still on going, which mean there have some advance and disadvantage. But for me, just take tha advantage and try to make disadvantage as a challenge for me to grow up. Then, my manager ask to take care of rentel chiller which for me its first time to deal with chiller system. I see its a good opportunity for me to be a better me. I take this as a great learn despite Im taking care of Firr Fighting, in the same time I can know how new system running. So, enjoy the life. Sometime we did not expect what will happen in the future but we can manage to get a better future. =)
