In what longtime event chairman Bob Veith described as a “close to perfect” event, the 10th annual Powerboating For A Cure Poker Run based out of Norfolk, Va., didn’t just attract 71 powerboats and a combination of 240 participants last weekend. Organized by the Mid-Atlantic Powerboat Association, the happening raised $39,800 for the Susan G. Komen for Breast Cancer organization and $5,000 for the Associated General Contractors Scholarship fund, the event’s two benefitting charities.
The United Rentals Lunch & Learn on July 26th. If you didn’t attend, then you missed a GREAT event, keep a close eye on United Rentals as they are planning on doing a similar event in our area very soon. They’ve got so much more to offer than the standard equipment that our industry uses every day, and they continue to add innovate products to their fleet to help keep our industry safe and up to speed. They also have an efficient means to collect data on equipment usage to help any individual client track progress and manage costs on their respective jobsites.
Thank you to one of the Young Leader Executives, Taylor Malbon with MEB General Contractors. He was the brains behind this event and made this all possible for Tidewater AGC Young Leaders. Thanks Taylor!

In an effort aimed at helping plumbing customers find workers, Newport News-based Ferguson teamed up with community partners to develop a nine-week, introductory plumbing training class. Ferguson, the largest U.S. distributor of plumbing supplies, would often hear from its customers that they couldn’t find the workers they needed, said Melissa Hazelwood, Ferguson Cares manager.
Ferguson hosted a round-table discussion and found that Hampton Roads plumbing customers and contractors interested in hiring entry-level workers were running into challenges with work readiness and soft skills, she said. So, Ferguson worked with the Peninsula Council for Workforce Development and community training partners to offer a free pilot training program — nine weeks or 72 hours — at New Horizons Regional Education Center at 520 Butler Farm Road in Hampton.
Diana Roberts Olmstead wife of Mark Olmstead (Vice President of MEB General Contractors) recently passed away. Diana is survived by her mother, her husband, two sons, one grandson, a sister and two brothers, and a brother-in-law.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to: Virginia Tech Foundation, c/o Diana Roberts Olmstead, 902 Prices Fork Road, Blacksburg, VA 24061. Donors please note O'Shaughnessy Hall Residential Learning Community on the check or letter when sending a gift.

Would Rescind E-Submittal of OSHA Forms 300 and 301
On July 27, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the 2016 recordkeeping rule. This proposal would rescind a requirement that contractors with 250 or more employees electronically submit detailed information from their OSHA Forms 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) and 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report), a requirement from which smaller contractors were already exempted.

Work rarely turns fatal, but some occupations call for extra vigilance. Virginia lost 153 workers on the job in 2016, up 44 percent from 106 the year before. Among them were 52 people engaged in natural resources, construction and maintenance jobs, the areas that accounted for the most work-related deaths.
