Rabcon is incredibly proud to celebrate our Health & Safety Manager, Melisa, for being named a finalist in the Health & Safety category at the 2026 Site Service Awards! Being named a finalist is an honour we don’t take lightly. It reflects the hard work, commitment, and safety culture that our Health & Safety Manager and the entire Rabcon team live every day.
At Rabcon, safety isn’t just a department - it’s a mindset that guides everything we do. It’s in the daily decisions our crews make, the leadership shown on our jobsites, and the culture we continue to build together - a culture championed every day by our Health & Safety Manager.

Congratulations to all this year’s winners and finalists. The level of excellence across the industry is inspiring, and we’re proud to stand alongside it.

Look for Melisa’s feature in the @readsitenews magazine, The Faces of Construction, which highlights her journey at Rabcon as recognized by voters. The magazine will be donated to high schools and colleges across the country to inspire students and showcase the potential of careers in construction.

Huge shoutout to Site Partners for hosting the Site Service Awards in Vancouver, it was an inspiring experience - what an amazing platform to recognize the dedication, leadership, and innovation driving excellence across the construction industry

Rabcon joins the ORCGA Damage Prevention Symposium once again - and the conversations continue to move our industry forward. 🪏🚜

It’s always impactful to see industry leaders come together with one shared goal: creating a safer tomorrow. This year, sessions focused heavily on AI and the future of utility locating - exploring how it’s being implemented today, what steps organizations should take next, and how we can prepare our teams for a smarter, safer, and more accountable industry. The discussions reinforced the importance of collaboration, innovation, and accountability in damage prevention.

Equally important, the symposium highlighted safety beyond the digital world. Todd Keirstead’s keynote on UV exposure and skin cancer reminded us of a hazard everyone faces, yet often overlooks in day-to-day life. ☀️ UV exposure is not just a summer concern - reflective surfaces can significantly amplify risk: snow can reflect up to 80–85% of UV radiation, sand up to 15-20%, water 5-10%, and grass up to 10%. Outdoor workers face roughly 60% higher risk of developing skin cancer, reinforcing the importance of awareness, protection, and early detection as part of our safety culture. 🔆🔅

And of course, between meaningful discussions and impactful sessions, we took a moment to connect as a team - including a fun caricature sketch that captured the lighter side of the day. 🫧🎨

👷🏼‍♂️ Angelo | Building & Fleet Manager
✨ Fuelling the Build

Angelo has been an integral part of Rabcon’s operations for nearly 8 years, bringing almost 26 years of experience in the sewer and watermain industry. Since joining the team, his role has evolved into Building and Fleet Manager, and he continues to take on responsibilities spanning preventative maintenance, COR compliance for all assets, inventory control, purchasing, excess soil management, and vac slurry processing.

In his role, Angelo ensures that all equipment, vehicles, and site resources are maintained to the highest standard, enabling crews to operate efficiently and safely. With his expert oversight and meticulous attention to detail, he keeps every vehicle, piece of equipment, and building under his care in peak condition - performing preventative maintenance, addressing issues before they arise, and ensuring Rabcon’s operations run seamlessly.

At Rabcon, attention to detail, proactive measures, and strong coordination across departments ensure we meet deadlines and uphold the high standards we stand for. I feel fortunate to be part of the Rabcon family and look forward to contributing to the company’s continued success for many years to come.”

Our crew welcomed a new team member this week - he does a great job holding down the site when the crew takes a well-deserved coffee break… though he’s a bit sad he can’t join them (for his own safety, of course 🫠)

Moments like these remind us that even in the cold, our teams bring energy, creativity, and a bit of humour to the job site.
But winter also brings serious challenges - and it’s a good time to reinforce key winter safety reminders for all crews on sites.

👣Watch your footing: Snow and black ice can hide hazards. Move carefully and keep walkways clear.
🧣Dress for the weather: Layer up, wear insulated gloves/boots, and keep spare dry gear handy.
🦺Stay visible: Shorter daylight means reduced visibility. Ensure hi-vis clothing and site lighting are up to standard.
🥤Warm up & hydrate: Take scheduled warm-up breaks and drink water throughout your shift.
📋Plan ahead: Weather changes fast - adjust work plans and communicate hazards early.
🔍Equipment checks matter: Cold impacts hydraulics, tires, batteries, and brakes. Perform thorough pre-trip inspections.

🚙🚗 Driving Tips 🚚🛻
🛞Preparation: Plan your route, check weather, and make sure your vehicle/equipment is maintained, inspected, and conduct a full circle check is before starting your trip.
🛞Protection: Buckle up, drive slower, and increase following distance between vehicles.
🛞Prevention: Stay alert, avoid fatigue, watch for black ice, and accelerate/brake/turn gradually to maintain control.
🛞 Icy Roads: If skidding, ease off the accelerator or brake and steer towards where you want to go.
🛞 Snowy Roads: Hard-packed snow can be as slippery as ice. Slush can affect steering and reduce visibility - keep your vehicle clear and drive defensively. If stranded, stay with your vehicle and call for assistance.

#SafestEmployers #CSEAwards2025 #OHSExcellence #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyChampions #YoungWorkers #SafeStart

🌟 It is an honour for Rabcon to receive the SafeStart Award for Canada’s Safest Employer for Young Workers!

This award recognizes organizations that innovate and demonstrate exemplary health and safety practices specifically for workers under the age of 25. Young workers are injured at a disproportionate rate, making it critical for organizations to engage, train, and mentor them effectively.

The dedication of everyone at this event - working to improve the lives of workers, young and experienced alike - is a meaningful accomplishment we should all celebrate.
It was inspiring to be among so many leaders and organizations committed to the same mission: protecting and empowering all workers. Every effort to improve workplace safety, from initiatives and policies to daily actions, contributes to a stronger, safer future for all employees - and that is a win for everyone.

Thank you to Canadian Occupational Safety for championing this initiative and hosting such a thoughtful and inspiring event for everyone, and to SafeStart for recognizing the work behind the award - the programs, mentorship, and commitment that make a real difference in the lives of young workers.

Thank you to all Rabcon staff for your commitment to safety programs that make this recognition possible. Whether you’re a young worker, mentor, supervisor, or field crew member, everyone’s contributions shape the culture of safety in our company. This award reflects the dedication, care, and teamwork of every single one of you.

Special thanks to our president Gaetano Rabito, and vice president Sal Rabito for leading with integrity and making safety a top priority, and to our Health & Safety Manager, Melisa Turkmen, who goes above and beyond to bring this mission to life every day.

To all our team members and safety professionals - your work makes a real difference every day.
No matter your role, everyone has the power to influence safety. Every decision, every action, contributes to a workplace where everyone is protected and supported, because safety touches us all.

👷🏼 Dino | Operations Manager at Rabcon
✨ Guiding Operations, Building Teams

Dino has been part of Rabcon since its very first day in 2000. He began as a labourer with boots on the ground when the company was just a handful of people, and since then has grown alongside Rabcon into his role today as Operations Manager. Over the past 25 years, he has overseen multiple crews and countless projects - but what sets Dino apart is that he has never lost the passion to step in, get his hands dirty, and lead by example when the job calls for it.

In his role, Dino ensures operations run smoothly across teams, always balancing efficiency, safety, and collaboration. His years of field experience keep him grounded and give him a deep understanding of the challenges crews face, allowing him to support them in ways that make a real difference.

💬 “My favorite thing about Rabcon is the challenges - every project, every day, and every collaboration brings something new that pushes us to evolve and grow. The problem-solving never stops, and that’s what drives me. What makes it even more meaningful is the culture. The presidents treat you like family, and that bond is real - we stand together, we witness each other’s growth, and we have each other’s back. For me, Rabcon isn’t just a company - it’s a family that has grown together, faced challenges together, and built something extraordinary side by side. To see what Rabcon was when we first started and what it has become today is phenomenal, and it speaks volumes about our leaders: they don’t stand above us, they stand with us.”

Dino’s blend of experience, humility, and dedication has made him a steady pillar for both his crews and the company as a whole. His leadership is grounded in respect, teamwork, and leading by example. For many at Rabcon, Dino represents consistency and trust - someone who has been there since day one, weathered the ups and downs, and remained a source of guidance and encouragement.

👷🏼‍♂️ Andrew | Site Supervisor at Rabcon
✨ Strong Leadership, Safe Worksites

Andrew has built a 26-year career in the sewer and watermain industry and has been with Rabcon for 18 years. He started as a labourer, progressed to operator, and has spent the last 16 years as a site supervisor. His rapid growth early on reflects the skill, drive, and dedication he brings to every project, and his long tenure demonstrates his ongoing commitment to leading teams safely and successfully.

💬 “What I value most about Rabcon is the consistency and commitment to its people. The work itself is rewarding, but what stands out is how management ensures we always have meaningful work, even when the industry slows down. While others may struggle during uncertain times, Rabcon makes sure we’re supported and provided with opportunities. That kind of effort speaks volumes - it’s about more than just work, it’s about taking care of people and their families.”

Andrew’s track record reflects his strong commitment to protecting people and infrastructure while delivering complex projects. Under his leadership, crews consistently prioritize safe digging practices, thorough planning, and utility protection - efforts that reinforce Rabcon’s culture of safety, accountability, and excellence.

Ergonomics isn’t just about comfort, it’s about protecting our bodies.

Everyday tasks can add up - and that’s why the little things matter. Using the right tools, like a trolley, reduces strain, prevents injuries, and helps workers stay safe and strong for the long run.

At Rabcon, we believe safety isn’t always about the big moments. Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing the right equipment for the task.

Starting the day with safety in mind. Morning checks ensure every team member goes home safe and every site runs smoothly.

Backfilling done right keeps trenches safe and stable. Every layer counts to protect our crews and the work we’ve done below.

A seemingly small task with a big impact. Sealing pipe joints correctly ensures underground systems can handle pressure and keep everything flowing safely.

Safety first, always. No worker enters a trench unless every safety standard is met - above and beyond.

Strong operators rely on strong spotters. Safety is never a one-person job.

Traffic control keeps our sites safe and moving. Each step is taken with pedestrians, cyclists, kids, and drivers in mind.

Dedication, teamwork, results. This is what a workday looks like at Rabcon.

At Rabcon, we know that strength, skill, and leadership are the driving force behind every successful project.
Today, women make up 50% of our management team - a powerful testament of the vital role they play in shaping our company’s success.

When we gather around the table at Rabcon’s board meetings, we see the importance of having women in leadership seats.
It’s clear that having women in leadership isn’t just about representation - it’s about fostering a culture where diverse ideas, perspectives, and innovations thrive. Their leadership empowers us to grow stronger and build better, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

At Rabcon, we’re committed to being visible and vocal champions for women in construction.
What was once a traditionally male-dominated industry is now one where women are powerfully breaking barriers every day - demonstrating resilience, expertise, and unwavering dedication. While women remain underrepresented in this industry, their impact is undeniable and essential to our growth and success.

We believe that by showcasing the leadership, expertise, and achievements of the women on our team, we provide real role models for young girls and new workers entering the industry. When they see women thriving and leading with confidence, it sends a powerful message that this field is open to them - that their skills and ambitions have a place here. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of women to pursue careers in construction, break down barriers, and contribute their unique talents and skills, to building a stronger, more inclusive industry.

Every day, the incredible women on our team bring passion, professionalism, and determination to every project. Their leadership inspires us, drives innovation, and makes Rabcon a better, stronger company. We are truly grateful for their contributions and proud to have them as part of our team.
To the women of Rabcon: thank you for your hard work, your vision, and the strength you bring to every challenge. Your presence and leadership is building more than projects, you’re building a future where everyone belongs and succeeds.

We’re proud to share that Alessandro Rabito has been named an awardee for the 2025 Minerva Award for Rising Star of the Year! 🌟🏆

This national recognition celebrates emerging leaders making a meaningful impact by integrating health and safety into both academic and workplace environments through leadership, mentorship, and hands-on initiatives, and Alessandro exemplifies just that!
Alessandro’s contributions, both in the classroom and onsite, earned him a place among this year’s distinguished awardees, and we couldn’t be prouder.

As a civil engineering student and a valued member of the Rabcon team, Alessandro has consistently demonstrated an exceptional commitment to safety, continuous learning, and peer development. He has shown leadership in high-pressure situations, promoted a proactive safety culture, and helped build greater awareness around hazard assessments and communication.
Whether attending emergency site meetings, coordinating safety materials and scheduled jobsite operations, or implementing risk-control measures, Alessandro approaches every challenge with professionalism and initiative. A recent example of his leadership occurred during a municipal watermain project, where he identified inaccurate locates and took immediate action to safely manage the underground utility conflict, preventing further risk and ensuring team safety before work continued.

At Rabcon, we believe in supporting and investing in the next generation of industry leaders. Alessandro’s recognition is a reflection of our shared values and our commitment to building safer and smarter job sites.
🎖️ Congratulations, Alessandro, this is well-deserved! We’re excited to see what you accomplish next.

At Rabcon, safety isn’t just a policy - it’s a fundamental core value. With an NCSO-certified Health and Safety Manager leading the way, we’ve built a culture where every team member is empowered to prioritize their own safety and that of their coworkers.

In 2020, Rabcon was proud to be the first company in Ontario to achieve the IHSA COR2020 certification. But for us, COR2020 is much more than just a certificate, it’s the foundation we build on every day to keep safety front and center. Staying COR certified means more than maintaining the status quo; it’s a framework that guides us to keep raising the bar, grow, adapt, and find better ways keep our team safe today, tomorrow, and always.

Our entire team - both in the office and out in the field - shares a commitment to accountability, responsibility, and continuous improvement. Every individual plays an important role in making safety a reality each day, and the COR2020 certification is a reflection of both our collective dedication and the strength of our safety culture.

It’s important to remember that safety is an ongoing journey, not a destination.
Together, let’s all build safer workplaces for everyone.

April is National Safe Digging Month 🌱

At Rabcon, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety in excavation. As part of that commitment, we want to take this opportunity to remind teams about the critical importance of reviewing locates, understanding discrepancies, and following proper procedures before starting any excavation work.

🛠️ Collaborative Approach Supervisors, operators, and crew members must work together to review, cross-reference each item, and confirm all locates and utility information before beginning any work.

🆘 Dealing with Inaccurate Locates Discrepancies in locates can occur, and it’s crucial to be prepared. If discrepancies are found, work must stop immediately, and the Utility Owner must be notified. Examples of discrepancies include:
- Mismatched drawings and written areas
- A utility not present even though locates indicate it
- A utility found outside of the 1 meter tolerance zone
- A utility found that is not indicated in the locates
- A utility found that does not match the locates (material, size, service)

🫱🏿‍🫲🏼 Due Diligence Matters Whether you’re a hydrovac operator, mechanical operator, or manually hand digging, it’s crucial to verify that exposed utilities match the locates as described. Spotters play a key role in guiding operators to avoid hazards, and supervisors are essential for monitoring excavation activities and ensuring all operations stay within safe parameters.

Let’s work together to make every dig a safe dig. 🦺
