Safety is paramount in erosion, sediment control, and stormwater management, particularly for our dedicated professionals who brave the field daily. As we navigate various environments, the importance of implementing robust safety protocols cannot be overstated.
I recently came across an excellent blog post shared by our Mid-Atlantic Chapter that delves into essential BMPs, especially in the face of thunderstorms—a common and potentially hazardous occurrence. I strongly encourage each of you to take a moment to read this insightful piece. It provides valuable information on effectively managing storm-related risks in our work environments. After reading, I would love your thoughts and comments on your best management practices for thunderstorms. Sharing our collective knowledge helps us all stay safer and more prepared.
Additionally, I want to remind everyone about the upcoming 2025 IECA Annual Conference. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase your work, share innovative ideas, and contribute to the collective knowledge of our industry. If you haven't already, please consider submitting your abstracts. The deadline is this Friday, so don't miss out on the chance to be part of this premier event.
Your dedication to safety and continuous improvement in our field is truly commendable. Let's continue to support each other, share our expertise, and drive forward the standards of excellence in erosion, sediment control, and stormwater management.
Best regards,
Jerry Sanders
President, IECA
