Major Safety Milestone at Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF), Schofield Barracks, HI



Anaheim, Calif. (March 1) - The Walsh RMA Joint Venture (Walsh-RMA) has achieved a major safety milestone with 200,000 man hours and over 50,000 equipment operation hours logged with no OSHA recordable incidents or lost-time accidents on the Construct Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF) project at Schofield Barracks, HI.

To achieve these results, Walsh-RMA implemented a comprehensive health and safety program featuring awareness, training, monitoring, prevention, and personal accountability. A collaborative effort between Steve Aleo (Walsh Regional Safety Manager), Sharon Groff (RMA Corporate Safety Officer), and Tracy Lawson of Lawson & Associates, the program has an intensive focus on cultivating a safety mindset that influences individual behavior on the job site.

Ultimately, it is the dedication of everyone on the site that has made this accomplishment possible.  To the site managers, subcontractors, and 615 workers in the field thus far, we thank you for the time, energy and passion you have put into getting everyone home safe to their families each day.

  • Anthony Choate (Project Manager)
  • Eric Thomson (Superintendent)
  • Ken Carrara (Quality Control Manager)

We are also grateful to Les Asuka, Jeff Crochran, Joe Tribbey, and Rockwell Rodgers with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for their support of our safety initiatives.     

Congratulations to the Team!
