RMA Exceeds First Quarter Safety Goals Through our Safety Incentive Program

Anaheim, Calif. (March 17) - RMA Land Construction, Inc., (RMA) took great strides towards increasing safety awareness and training through the use of a Safety Incentive and Recognition program, which rewards employees who have gone the extra mile in safety insight and prevention. Spearheading the initiative was RMA’s electrical division. One of RMA’s newly appointed safety officers in training set a goal for RMA’s Hawaii team to accomplish 100 hours of certified training courses within a 30-day period during the month of February.

Fully supported by RMA’s Vice President Electrical Division and Corporate Safety Officer, 100% of the Electricians in Hawaii participated and surpassed the original goal – completing 118 total hours, all of which were logged on the employees’ own time.
Sharon Groff, Corporate Safety Officer at RMA states, "Our objective for this safety program is to reduce incidents and injuries to our employees and the customers we serve." Groff continued, "The purpose of the incentive program is to motivate and reward our employees for their group camaraderie and continuing behavior."

Anaheim, Calif. (March 3) - RMA Land Construction, Inc., (RMA) participated in the National Education Association’s Read Across America program by reading stories to the students of Euclid Elementary School, located within the Boyle Heights School District. This celebration is held annually on the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (acclaimed children’s author Dr. Seuss), providing increased reading motivation and awareness to children throughout the country.

"It felt wonderful to see all of the children’s reactions as they remained engaged throughout the story," said Gina Simmons, RMA’s Project Administrator, who read “Horton Hatches the Egg” to a second-grade classroom. The students, already familiar with Dr. Seuss stories, cheered when they heard which books we would be reading to them. Gina adds, "We all came together for the children and had a great time doing it!"
RMA looks forward to future participation with Euclid Elementary School in support of the STEM-Up© pilot initiative as we help to inspire America’s youth and support the wonderful educators in the Boyle Heights School District.
