FUNDAMENTAL #26: Keep things Fun!

Remember that the world has bigger problems than the daily challenges that make up our work. Keep perspective. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Laugh ever day.

FUNDAMENTAL #25: Think Safe. Work Safe.

Know and practice the safety procedures for your job. Watch out for the safety of your teammates as well, for we’re all part of the BUCHAN family. Never take shortcuts that compromise your safety or that of your teammates.

FUNDAMENTAL #23: Embrace Change.

What got us here is not the same as what will get us to the next level. Be inspired by the opportunities that change brings, rather than stubbornly hanging onto old ways of doing things. Get outside your comfort zone. That’s where growth happens.
