Jobsite Chute Rinse-off, the latest addition to the NRMCA Environment | Sustainability video series, is available for purchase in streaming 24/7 or DVD formats at www.nrmca.org/store.

Jobsite Chute Rinse-off was created at the direction of NRMCA’s Operations and Compliance Division. Videographer Thunder Bay Productions staged at the Draper, Utah, plant of producer member Jack B. Parson. The video instructs mixer drivers about the various methods to get their chutes clean while not violating environmental regulations. It also discusses the driver’s responsibility to adapt to each jobsite’s requirements and when to notify his or her company if there is a problem. Finally, the lesson points out that chute rinse-off plays a role in fleet maintenance as well as being a safety factor since correctly rinsing a chute prevents debris from hitting other vehicles as the mixer returns to the plant.

“Winning this award continues the Association’s commitment to constantly communicate the latest information, products, services and programs to help our members expand their markets and improve their operations, while supporting workforce performance,” says NRMCA President Robert Garbini.
