Sadly, there was a recent fatality involving an operator who attempted to remove a blockage using compressed air. PLEASE forward this email to all your operators as a reminder to NEVER use compressed air when attempting to remove a blockage.
Sadly, our industry lost one its true pioneers with the passing of Bill Cross of Cross Enterprises. Cross Concrete Pumping was one of the founding members of the ACPA with Bill serving on the ACPA Board of Directors and as President on the ACPA Executive Board. In 1994, Bill and his brother, Charles, each received ACPA Pioneer Awards. On a personal note, I will always remember Bill for his kind words of encouragement when I became the ACPA Executive Director many years ago.
