Lunch & Learn – WTI Canada Shines With Safety

By Evelyn Witterholt, RCS Reporter. 

The Canadian team from Weatherproofing Technologies Incorporated shares safety initiatives that help building owners. 

Our first Lunch & Learn is here! The new educational series from RoofersCoffeeShop® is designed to bring learning opportunities to those who work on the inside team of roofing companies. Whether you’re talking to customers, giving estimations or buying roofing products for your crew, this series is for you! For our first Lunch & Learn, RCS President Heidi J. Ellsworth hears from David Gardiner and Tiffany Newman from the Canadian team of Weatherproofing Technologies Inc., part of the Tremco Construction Products Group family. 

WTI has successfully made a presence internationally with their division in Canada. David leads the team there with support from Tiffany, and with their combined 36 years of experience, they are already making quite an impact. In this Lunch & Learn, they discuss several topics that are useful for those who want to expand their roofing company and have better safety practices in place. 

The Lunch & Learn covers three main objectives: 

• Part 1 - Handling company expansion 

• Part 2 - Navigating jobsite challenges 

• Part 3 - Adding safety solutions to your business 

David and Tiffany give great advice based on their own experience of expanding WTI in Canada. One of the topics they touch on is how finding the right people to hire makes all the difference. “Communication was one of the biggest things we were looking for,” David says. “Somebody that can do the work, that’s all fine and dandy. But if they’re not properly communicating that it is done...that’s always going to lead to issues.” 

They also go into detail about the line of safety solutions Tremco and WTI offer, including the ways they help building owners inspect their roofs safely. Tiffany discusses how their team does a lot of work educating building owners and operators on how to inspect their roof safely. She states these inspections often get overlooked because “sometimes unfortunately the roof is the last thing people think of because people don’t generally see it too often.” 

Grab your lunch and watch the newest Lunch & Learn. The short, 15-minute video offers a lot of valuable information for those who want to grow their business. We also have a free learning guide to encourage discussion about the topics of the video.
