A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY

Our goal at Turner Industries is to be the very BEST we can be in everything we do. That goal includes much more than just having a good return on investment at the bottom line.

Turner’s priorities dictate that “R.O.I.” first and foremost stands for “Return on Integrity.” No shortcuts, play by the rules—the only way to build a solid and sustainable enterprise. It is an absolute must in our corporate culture.

Our definition of integrity is broadened beyond the all-important concept of business ethics. We always include the obligation to live by the Golden Rule and treat our employees and their respective communities as integral partners to our success.

We accomplish this in three main areas discussed in this report:

SAFETY – always ensuring that everyone returns home to their families the same safe way they arrived on the job by developing world-class safety practices and procedures.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT – always ensuring that we help all communities thrive so top quality living experiences are available for all of our employees.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT – always ensuring that our employees are receiving the best available training to perform their jobs in a superior manner.

2010 - PRESENT

’60s ’70s ’80s ’90s ’00s

The heartbeat of Turner Industries’ crane and rigging group operates today in a new state-of-the-art equipment repair facility located at the site where the company began, referred to internally as the “Nichols” or “Mason Street Yard.” With immediate access to Interstates 10 and 12 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, our equipment can easily be transported to jobsites and customers. In the spring of 2014, the new facility, designed to keep our equipment and automotive fleet in perfect condition at all times, opened its doors.With 50,000 square feet of covered space, 65,000 square feet of apron space and a total of 25 bays, this facility maintains, services and performs repairs for over 2,000 pieces of equipment.

In keeping with Turner’s vision of expanding services that complement the core business lines, Turner Industries’ strategic turnaround services (STS) group was recently added. The purpose of STS is to improve turnaround and project performance by helping clients adopt industry best practices.

Included in STS is the new Turner Industries proprietary TRAM™ software which is designed to identify, quantify, and mitigate risk associated with turnaround costs and schedule performance. Highly experienced STS turnaround and project strategists partner with new and existing clients using a variety of tools, including TRAM™ software, to achieve success in managing turnarounds and projects.

With maintenance contracts at nearly 300 sites across the U.S., Turner is ranked the No. 1 Industrial Maintenance Contractor by revenue in the nation by Engineering News-Record. Turner now employs over 20,000 people, doubling its workforce since 2005.

A young engineer named Bert Turner buys Nichols Construction Company out of bankruptcy, a company specializing in industrial construction and heavy equipment. He begins taking steps to ensure a steady stream of revenue through industrial contract maintenance and other related services. In 1968, Turner hires Roland Toups, the current Chairman and CEO.

Mr. Turner begins to acquire additional companies and add auxiliary services like scaffolding; he also continues to expand the equipment fleet and purchase larger cranes. These moves provide the company with opportunities to manage and control most of the elements that make up construction, maintenance and turn around work.

The Turner group enters the fabrication business, forming International Piping Systems and introducing a pipe bending process that rev olutionizes the U.S. pipe fabrication business. The company participates in many of the large industrial construction projects being built in the Gulf South.

Industrial specialty services, such as non-destructive examination and inspection services, specialized welding, and environmental remediation are added to fill client needs as they arise. Proprietary programs are developed internally to better track and manage work.

The early companies are consolidated into one entity—Turner In dustries Group—with four main business lines: Construction; Maintenance & Turnarounds; Pipe and Module Fabrication; and Equipment and Specialty Services. Five fabrication facilities located across the Gulf South make Turner the largest privately held fabricator in the United States.

TURNER INDUSTRIES TIMELINE

6 T U R N E R I N D U S T R I E S

There is no company more acutely aware of and dedicated to the mission of safety and health excellence than Turner Industries. We continually strive for total incident elimination and are steadfast in a value system that ensures our employees can execute their duties and responsibilities in a safe and successful manner.

Last year, thousands of dedicated Turner employees executed more than 41,000,000 work hours, the vast majority of which were completed without incident or injury. Employees with many years of service worked side-by-side and mentored employees new to our company. Together, they led us to our best overall safety and health performance in the company’s more than 50-year history.

In support of the continued growth of our company—and to ensure that all employees, both new and experienced, have the greatest opportunities for success—we expanded programs like our new employee management system and our job safety analysis process to make them even more dynamic, interactive, and engaging. Furthermore, we reinvented our behavior-based safety program to expand intervention opportunities, training, awareness and success.

Another concentration over the past year has been the establishment, communication and education of our workforce on 7 Life Critical Safety Rules. These

rules—and the consistent application of our overall safety process and knowledge transfer system—have helped to totally integrate our safety and operational management processes into one seamless operational excellence system.

As we look to the future, we are ever mindful of our commitment to overall safety and health excellence, and our dedication to zero incident performance in all we do.

SAFETY OUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET IS OUR PEOPLE.

”At Turner Industries, a culture of safety

is built into everything that we do. Safety

cannot just be a priority for us, because

priorities change.”

RODNEY LANDRYMAINTENANCE PROJECT MANAGER

Maintenance Project Manager, Rodney Landry, has been with Turner Industries for 35 years; he knows a thing or two about safety. He started working in the field as a pipefitter helper, which has proved advantageous for Rodney in his current position, giving him a means by which he can relate to his team. He is no stranger to the hard work and demands our employees face in the field. Making sure projects run smoothly and are completed to the satisfaction of our clients are among Rodney’s top priorities. But his number one priority, and the biggest challenge he faces, is to make sure everyone goes home safely every single day.

”Safety is about taking care of people,” said Rodney. ”When new employees come on the jobsite, we look them in the eyes and we let them know that we have their backs. My most important piece of advice is that they don’t try to impress us by ‘getting the job done.’ If they want to impress us, get the job done safely.”

Turner is actively engaged in the advancement of safety programs, and, recently, there has been increased activity as a result of technological advancements. But, at Turner, it is our people who make the biggest difference.

“Our approach to safety has changed a lot over the last decade. We work more hours than ever, and we are doing it at the lowest incident rate in this industry’s history. Such a high performance rate drives us to continue to search for new improvements that will make us even better. Our people are our greatest assets and, at Turner, we want to lead by example.”

Over the past several years, Turner Industries has moved away from the reactionary mode of our industry and taken a more proactive approach to safety. During this time, based on historical accident and incident data, we identified seven life critical safety rules, which, if not followed, can compromise the health and safety of our workers. In 2014, the corporate safety department compiled these rules, created icons for easy identification, and prepared posters for jobsite visual aids. These life critical safety rules will become an integral part of our effort to protect the health and safety of every Turner employee.

KERRY WIGGINS CONSTRUCTION SAFETY MANAGER

Kerry Wiggins’ career has always been in the safety field. Hard work and dedication have gotten her to the position she holds today, but she never forgets where she started and tries every day to be the best mentor she can be. Kerry engages the people on her jobsites to help her create and be a part of an injury-free culture.

“Our employees’ safety is our number one priority. No job is worth getting hurt for,” said Kerry.

Working as a safety manager on heavy construction jobs takes a lot of technical knowledge and experience. Safety programs improve and data becomes more accurate and accessible, but Kerry’s safety successes have almost always been traced back to one thing: personal responsibility.

”We make safety personal. Respect people, recognize people, and hold people accountable. Turner’s ‘Tell Me’ program, which empowers every employee to stop an unsafe act, is one of our best tools because it engages people to interact with each other. At the end of the day, nothing is more important than all of us going home to our families.”

SAFETY AWARDS & RECOGNITION

Turner Industries received a record 34 Meritorious Safety Performance Awards at the 2014 American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) annual National Occupational and Process Safety Conference. These are the most awards received by Turner in one year and the most by any industrial maintenance contractor in one year. The awards are based on records from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and promote accident prevention.

The scaffold group, companywide, completed one year with zero OSHA recordables. During this year, our scaffolding employees worked more than 720,000 hours on 217 different jobs. Special recognition goes to the Houston region—whose last recordable was in 2006—and the Lake Charles region, which has now completed more than two years with zero OSHA recordables.

The LyondellBasell Contractors Safety Association (CSA) was initiated and organized by Turner Industries at the LyondellBasell site in La Porte, Texas. The CSA comprises 10 contractor companies who meet weekly with the objective of improving safety by maintaining a safe work environment for all employees on site. It is committed to recognizing and eliminating hazards by encouraging effective communication between all members and motivating and challenging everyone to meet the expectation that there is always time to work safely.

The CSA promotes not only the sharing of successful accident/incident prevention programs and root cause investigations, but also the recognition of those persons taking proactive measures to prevent unsafe actions and conditions.

The CSA engages site employees by selecting a “Crew of the Week” from each contractor. Each contractor submits his or her recommendation for a crew with above average Job Safety Analyses, good attendance, being current on all paperwork, maintaining a clean and organized work area, and most importantly, performing incident- and injury-free for a week. Crews are submitted to their on-site management team, which reviews the recommendations and selects a winner. The “Crew of the Week” receives special recognition on a job well done, and a job done safely.


SITES RECOGNIZED FOR ELITE SAFETY STATUS Turner Industries is proud to highlight our six Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star Sites. The VPP rec ognizes employers and workers who have implemented effective safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below National Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries.

A central topic of conversation in the construction industry in 2014 centered on workforce development and training. Discussions ranged from getting more high school students involved in craft training through a new Career Diploma to the training of more engineers and construction managers to handle anticipated industrial expansion. While Turner Industries has always been involved in our communities, these discussions presented some uniquely targeted philanthropic opportunities we hope will reap multiple and long-lasting benefits for our communities and future workforce.

Contributions to bricks and mortar included the Construction Management School at Louisiana State University, the River Parishes Community

College and our new equipment repair facility. The first two will help to provide modern facilities in which to educate new industry leaders, while the latter facility will reinvigorate the neighborhood of our origin.

TEAM Turner™—our employee directed volunteer program—has grown larger than ever. I’m proud to announce that our United Way campaign, which has been the foundation of our charitable efforts since the company began, reached an all-time high this year. Thank you not only to the employees who pledged, but also to those who volunteered their time and energy to ensure that the employees at every jobsite had the opportunity to hear United Way’s story.

I hope you’ll enjoy reading about the ways in which Turner Industries and its employees have endeavored to make a positive impact wherever we are.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY WE PROMOTE GREATNESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES, BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS.

”Turner Industries firmly believes that a

company is only as strong as the community

in which it operates. Therefore, investing in

our communities has always been a priority

to us.”

TEAM TURNER™

TEAM Turner™ is our employee-directed volunteer program supported by Turner Industries to promote community involvement, teamwork and camaraderie. It al lows employees to identify charitable causes they wish to support, and provides a structured framework through which volunteer support and other resources are directed.

The concept of building and strengthening our communities were values important to our founder, Bert Turner, and are continued today. As Turner continues to grow as a company, so does our impact on our communities. TEAM Turner strives to enrich our employees’

lives through community involvement. 2014 was a year during which TEAM Turner began expanding its volunteerism throughout the regions where we work. The enthusiasm and participation was evident in Turner’s employees as they came together to make their communities stronger.

TEAM Turner supports hundreds of organizations all over the country, but our employees have a special place in their hearts when it comes to the needs of children. Turner employees can be found participating in charitable efforts and organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children throughout the country. These include the Children’s Miracle Network; supporting children with special needs; ensuring that children have a warm and special Christmas; filling backpacks with school supplies and snacks; and even making sure children have warm feet through an annual sock drive each fall.

Turner employees participated in a timed plane pull fundraiser at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport benefiting The Arc, a non-profit organization providing early intervention programs, special instruction and family support for children born with disabilities.

UNITED WAY RECOGNIZES TURNER INDUSTRIES’ CHARITABLE EFFORTS

In 2014, Turner Industries received two awards from the Capital Area United Way for our fundraising and community support efforts: the Five Star Award and The Standard of Excellence Award.

The Five Star Award is presented to companies that fully support United Way and the community through key actions that support the organization’s call to action: give, advocate and volunteer.

The Standard of Excellence Award is given to a company in the Capital Area for providing outstanding financial and volunteer support.

“United Way has always been Turner’s major philanthropic focus, because United Way programs serve the largest number of people in the most places where our employees live and work,” said Stephen Toups of Turner Industries, 2014 Capital Area United Way campaign chairman.

Turner’s 2014 United Way campaign kicked off at the Baton Rouge, Louisiana August safety meeting. Capital Area United Way President and CEO Darrin Goss, Sr. attended the kickoff with several members of his staff.

This year’s guest speaker was NASCAR driver David Starr, who told stories from his childhood, discussing how he became a race car driver as well as the importance of safety, teamwork, and community involvement. David also shared the fact that he is a welder, a skill that allowed him to do most of the welding on his own cars in the early days of his career. His stories were much appreciated by everyone, and he finished the evening by signing baseball caps and conversing with employees. Since then, the regional offices have followed suit at their safety meetings, kicking off United Way campaigns in their areas.

Turner Industries supports more than 100 non-profits, civic organizations and community projects through funding and volunteerism.

While TEAM Turner™ chapters conduct volunteer work on a regional level, there are a few events that span the entire company. In 2014, Turner Industries held its first annual company-wide food drive. Employees in every region collected non-perishable items or cash donations for their local food banks. Organizing a company-wide food drive takes lots of effort, and not just from TEAM Turner members. Our safety department helped with the job safety analysis (JSA) for the project, our equipment yard supplied the containers used for collection, storage and delivery and project managers, superintendents and division managers led by example and got everyone involved.

“The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank depends on three things: donation of food, donation of money and donation of time (volunteers). Turner Industries provides all three of those.”

“Bert Turner and the Turner family are well known for their many contributions to higher education,” says Roland Toups, Turner Industries’ Chairman and CEO. “This is one of the many ways to remember him, while, at the same time, supporting and expanding the opportunities for LSU’s future construction management students.”

Mr. Turner graduated from LSU’s College of Engineering in 1943 and was named a member of the Hall of Distinction in 1991.

Stephen Toups, Turner Industries CIO, and Ben Bourgeois, human resource and business development director at Turner’s Lake Charles, Louisiana operations were both honored for their community support during 2014. Stephen was honored as Volunteer Activist of the Year by the Emerge Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for his outstanding volunteer work.

At the 2014 National Philanthropy Day luncheon held by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Louisiana – Southwest Chapter, Ben Bourgeois was honored for his longtime and dedicated support of United Way of Southwest Louisiana (SWLA). Ben’s involvement spans 18 years, during which he has held numerous positions. He currently serves on the United Way SWLA Board of Directors.

Another yearly company-wide TEAM Turner™ event is our participation in the U.S. Marine Corp’s “Toys for Tots” program, as well as numerous other Christmas gift programs in support of those in need. Adopting residents in nursing homes, children and young adults living in youth centers and hospitals is part of the effort. By helping those in need we hope to brighten the holidays for as many as possible. This year, our employees collected and distributed thousands of gifts all over the country.

TURNER INDUSTRIES HONORS FAMILY PATRIARCH WITH PLEDGE TO LSU

The Turner family, through Turner Industries, has gifted $5 million to Louisiana State University’s Department of Construction Management, which is to be named in honor of the late Bert S. Turner, father of the Turner family and founder of Turner Industries. The contribution is in support of LSU’s Breaking New Ground Campaign, and will assist in the renovation of Patrick F. Taylor Hall as well as the construction of a chemical engineering building.

SUPPORTING RIVER PARISHES COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Turner Industries donated $50,000 to the newly opened River Parishes Community College (RPCC) campus in Gonzales, Louisiana to further support industrial training.

The Center for Advanced Technology at RPCC will house programs aligned with some of the fastest growing careers in the region, such as nursing and allied health, welding, automotive technology, industrial instrumentation, process technology, industrial maintenance, construction, and hazardous materials & disaster management.

River Parishes Community College is an open-admission, two-year, post-secondary public institution. The college provides transferable courses and curricula up to and including Certificates and Associate’s degrees and comprehensive career and technical education training. RPCC also partners with the communities it serves by providing programs for personal, professional and academic growth.

Turner Industries held the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art equipment repair facility located at the site where the company began, referred to internally as the “Nichols” or “Mason Street” Yard in August.

The opening of this facility signifies a substantial re-commitment to the area. The location currently employs over 100 people and has allowed Turner to expand our equipment fleet. The grand opening event was well attended by community and industry leaders including Baton Rouge Mayor, Melvin “Kip” Holden, who declared August 26, “Turner Industries Day.” With 50,000 square feet under roof, 65,000 feet of apron space and a total of 25 bays, this facility will maintain, service and perform repairs for over 2,000 pieces of equipment. Immediate access to Interstates 10 and 12, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, means our equipment can easily be transported to jobsites and customers. The facility also features a huge parts-warehouse and keeps a full library containing service and owner manuals for all equipment. A backup generator ensures the facility is capable of maintaining operation throughout the shop in case of a power outage. Eight large exhaust fans, four on each side, replace the air in the building once every minute. This not only removes exhaust fumes generated by the equipment, but it also provides a cooler working environment during the warmer months. During the winter months, nine heaters located throughout the main bays keep the facility at a comfortable temperature. The new state-of-the-art paint booth with 116 light fixtures is 75 feet long by 30 feet wide, and is large enough to hold our biggest mobile crane.

For more than 50 years, Turner Industries has provided trained, skilled craft labor to our clients. To meet that challenge, we have made major commitments to strategy, funding and instruction, both in-house and to our industry as a whole. It is our core belief that our people will make the difference in all that we do. Logic tells you that business plans are all about allocating resources. The balance of linking our workforce strategy with the expected outcome of the business strategy drives success for each Turner employee. Each employee knows that getting it right is hard, but the implication of getting it wrong creates ripples in the business that are long-lasting. All of us at Turner want to provide increased

opportunity for our fellow employees to grow in the business, as well as for those in the community to get into the business. To that end, Turner employees serve on boards and committees for national, state and local organizations charged with creating solutions for the recruitment and retention of the skilled craft workforce. Turner has been a pioneer in union and merit shop skilled craft training. Turner has received recognition for getting this fine balance between workforce and business strategy right. We have received the national CURT (Construction User Round Table) Workforce Development award twice; we have been recognized by the Texas Workforce Commission as an ”Employer of the Year;” and we have received industry-wide recognition as ”Contractor of the Year” in both Louisiana and Texas. We have provided mentors, instructors, material and resources to schools’ skilled craft training programs. By partnering with clients to meet their demands, developing training programs that are (1) compressed; (2) scalable; and (3) replicable, we hope to produce the number of job-ready, industry-certified graduates that will be required in the future. One of the things that makes Turner different from every other company and contractor out there are the stories that keep us together as a family, the “Turner Family” as we all say. In this section, we will dive into a few of the successes we have been able to participate in this past year and look to an exciting 2015 ahead.

Stephen M. ToupsSenior Vice President, Turner Industries


WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. WE’RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

”All of us at Turner Industries want to

provide increased opportunity for our

fellow employees to grow in the business,

as well as for those in the community to

get into the business. I’m proud to say that

we issued 35,989 W2 forms in 2014.”

— Stephen M. ToupsSenior Vice President, Turner Industries

Turner Industries has pledged a President’s level donation to the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Greater Houston Chapter in support of the renovation of their newly acquired building. The new location will provide greater access to services, larger training rooms and more.

“The President Level pledge from Turner Industries demonstrates Turner’s belief in, and support of, the merit shop and free enterprise philosophy—the cornerstone of ABC. The pledge also shows a deep commitment to the training and education of the craft workforce throughout the Greater Houston area. The new Dacoma office building will feature a vocational training room, allowing individuals a centrally located training facility.

With the development of the ABC Dacoma campus, the association has the Houston market covered. Now, combined with the La Porte campus, ABC will be able to offer NCCER certified training, professional training, and soft skills training—all vital for a well-rounded construction workforce. With the expansion of such petrochemical powerhouses like ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Shell Oil Company to the North and West corridors of Houston, a more centrally located training campus is a natural fit.

ABC appreciates that Turner Industries has frequently demonstrated their dedication to a trained and sustainable workforce. They’re leaders in developing programs to make certain that trained workers are available for their projects and the industry as a whole. Turner Industries’ contribution to the ABC Dacoma building fund solidifies their position as leaders in the industry. We are excited about the future of ABC Greater Houston, a future that is made possible by the support of such companies like Turner Industries Group. We believe that 2015 will be the “Year of Training” for the association and we look forward to meeting the evolving training demands of our members with innovative and dynamic programs.”

In 2014, Turner Industries teamed up with the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) at the USA Science, Technology and Engineering Festival to send the message that there are good career opportunities in skilled crafts in the construction industry. Exhibiting in the Mike Rowe Pavilion (Mike Rowe - host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs® and the new CNN series Somebody’s Gotta Do It®) Turner employees set out to showcase Mike’s statement that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) should be STEMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and SKILLS).

Children visiting our booth were encouraged to sign their name to a LEGO® brick to add to a structure that was a work in progress over the 3-day festival. The Turner message was, “We are contractors. We employ skilled craft workers who build the facilities that produce things people need and use every day. You can be a part of something BIG by signing a brick and adding it to something that will grow bigger.”

Nearly 5,000 children visited the Turner/NCCER booth, signed a LEGO® brick, and learned about skilled craft careers. The exercise proved to be an excellent attention-getter, as Mike Rowe visited the booth multiple times, added his signature to the structure, and referenced it in a number of his presentations.

The structure is now traveling around the country visiting industry-related events where there is an opportunity to highlight the value and need for skilled crafts. In July, the structure made an appearance at the 2014 SkillsUSA National Conference in Kansas City, Missouri. Then it was off to the Construction Industry Institute Annual Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana; and in November it visited NCCER’s annual board meeting in San Antonio, Texas. In 2015 it will be auctioned off on the Mike Rowe Foundation website, with all proceeds going to his foundation to fund skilled craft scholarships. The entire journey can be found and followed at www.followmybrick.com.

Working together with our clients, industry organizations and educators has always been a priority for Turner Industries. Through the sharing of ideas, we are able to create a viable plan for the future of our industry.

Shell—in cooperation with Turner and several other contractors—created a program to provide craft training to individuals hoping to enter the construction industry in anticipation of the looming craft workforce demands. Months of planning resulted in a pilot program to train welders, electricians and crane operators. Taking the lead in welding and crane operations, Turner offered to get a welding class started at the ABC Bayou Chapter.

A workforce development team selected the fifteen best candidates from a large pool that included military veterans and other applicants in the New Orleans area. Many had prior industry experience, but few had ever welded. The task was to give them the tools and training needed to earn certifications in as many welding processes as possible.

An aggressive full-day class schedule was designed to get trainees certified as quickly and efficiently as possible. Even with this accelerated schedule, it was a struggle for many as they were responsible for maintaining a means

of support during the training. It is a tribute to their hard work and dedication that they were able to complete the fifteen week program.

We are pleased to announce that thirteen of the original fifteen finished the program, and all of those completed at least the carbon steel pipe welding certification. Six students also completed restricted position welding and started training in TIG welding.

TIG welding requires a bit more skill to master. It uses long metal rods of various sizes and common metals such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel and iron. TIG offers a lot of versatility when working on more intricate welding projects. One graduate was able to finish TIG and graduate as a combination welder.

The graduation was held at the ABC Bayou Chapter. Turner and Shell were very pleased with the program. The accomplishments of this first class are a great indicator of the future success of the program, which will grow to include two more welding classes and a mobile crane class, which will be taught at the ABC Pelican Chapter.

INDUSTRY LEADERS JOIN FORCES TO TRAIN FUTURE WORKFORCE

A revamped North Baton Rouge Indus trial Training Initiative (NBRITI) class opened for registration in the fall. Prospective students were invited to the Baton Rouge Community College Acadian Campus to learn about and sign up for the program. This year’s curriculum has been improved by the addition of more life-skills training. Evaluations from last semester showed that life-skills training is vital to the success of a person’s career, and this was something the original program lacked.

Turner’s workforce develop ment group attended the career fair, held in conjunction with the registration, which was a great success. Also attending the event were Carlos Evans and Donald Cook, two graduates from the previous class held in 2012. They are now working for Turner at ExxonMobil. The two were there to share their success stories and inspire others to pursue a career in our industry and take advantage of the NBRI TI opportunity. The NBRITI is a collaborative effort by the Capital Area Technical College, Baton Rouge Community College, ExxonMobil, Turner Industries and other industrial lead ers, nonprofit organizations and community resource partners. The initiative provides selected participants with free training in one of three concentrations: pipefitting, welding or electrical.

Turner is a proud supporter of Dow’s “Women in Welding” class at the Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) Westside Campus in Plaquemine, Louisiana. Celebrating their graduation, the women now hold an NCCER core welding certification. They have T-joint and open V-groove certifications, but many of them want to continue training to become combination welders.

Mike Stirrat, Turner’s site manager at Dow Plaquemine at the time, and Wayne Tyson, Turner workforce development manager, have both served as part of the BRCC Westside Campus Steering Team and act as direct resources to the program. In addition to helping with the development of the mechanical training curriculum and providing equipment and supplies, they also assist with general support, like supplying lunch and promoting education and training in the community.

IN-HOUSE EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Continuing the tradition of operations manage ment excellence, Turner Industries’ maintenance divi sion senior management provided material and instruction for the “Voice of Leadership” class. This in-house training is attended by employees recommended by their respective project managers. The classes prepare the selected employees for future leadership roles and assist them in enhancing their communications skills.

Developed from actual Turner job experiences, partici pants analyze workplace case study situations. Through written reports and oral presentations, they address resolving issues with multiple players including other employees, company management and clients. A new class of leaders graduated from this program in Houston, Texas and Lake Charles and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

In Lake Charles, David Franks, senior vice president of Turner Industries also includes a course based on the principles highlighted in John Maxwell’s book, “Leadership 101 – What Every Leader Needs to Know.”

The success of the Leadership training programs generated a new training program for Turnaround Project Management. Turnarounds present unique challenges, which are covered in this class, using similar case study techniques as the “Voice of leadership” class.

CMEF is the educational affiliate of ABC Greater Houston. This year, Turner sponsored three graduates who completed courses and graduated in 2014 in Houston, Texas. The courses take nearly three years to complete and are held at San Jacinto College and Lee College, both in Texas. The goal of the program is to move employees from a helper or laborer

position to a craft journeyman level position, as well as train those who are just starting out in the industry. Turner has been a Training Contributor Agreement (TCA) partner since 2002, acting as one of the original companies to support CMEF’s workforce development efforts.

Carla Thompson, Turner’s workforce development manager said, “CMEF always steps up to the plate and has been very proactive, looking at our needs and figuring out how to meet them. We are a TCA partner because it is imperative to train craft professionals for our industry.”

Turner employee Rogelio Robles (pipefitter) graduated from the

CMEF program and is now a craft journeyman.

“We are at an all-time peak in manpower and we are continuing to

grow. There is a need for welders, crane operators and electricians. This

training is critical for the industry right now, and we are proud to be a

part of it.”

— John GolasheskySenior Vice President, Turner Industries
