Outsource Expands to Third Florida Location

 

Outsource proudly announces the opening of its third Florida location in Orlando on December 11th, 2023. Along with Tampa and Miami in Florida, Orlando is the company’s 23rd location nationwide.

Supporting Central Florida

Our new Florida expansion is in response to the region’s substantial growth.

Trainees will also leave with a complete set of tools, including a tool pouch, a punch down tool, a multibit screwdriver, snips, sharpie, electrical tape, and PPE (hard hat, safety gloves, safety glasses, and safety vest).

Same Day Account Set Up

Orlando will provide the same level of service and talent that our clients have come to expect from Outsource. We offer same day account set up, our work is guaranteed on every placement, and we deliver on demand as early as the next day.

Simple Fiber Optics Safety Tips Your Workers Need to Know

Over the years, fiber optic cables have improved voice and data communication in countless applications. Not only is the flexibility of the technology remarkable, but developments in the various systems of communication have shown even more uses for fiber optics.

fiber safety tips

Over the years, fiber optic cables have improved voice and data communication in countless applications. Not only is the flexibility of the technology remarkable, but developments in the various systems of communication have shown even more uses for fiber optics. At the same time, it is important to be aware of these fiber safety tips as there are health dangers, some of which may be difficult to detect yet can be avoided by taking the proper precautionary steps.

Here are ten fiber safety tips to protect your workers as they work with fiber optics:

  • Protect their eyes

Every worker in the area must wear safety glasses with side shields. Fiber shards and splinters could enter the eyes, so even those who already wear glasses must also use safety glasses.

  • Avoid food and drinks

Tiny glass fibers could be floating in the air wherever fiber optics are being produced or installed. Something as simple as a drink of water might carry slivers of glass into the throat and esophagus where they can cause lacerations and internal hemorrhages.

  • Warn them against touching their face

Although some people thoughtlessly touch their faces at work, they will need to break that habit when they work with fiber optics. Small splinters from the fibers can enter the soft skin on the face and be hard to remove.

  • Wear disposable lab aprons

Every worker should be provided with protective aprons to reduce the fiber particles that collect on their clothing. If these particles collect on clothing, they could be ingested later through food, drink, or the air.

  • Provide a well-ventilated work area

Your workers need to be breathing clean air as part of a safe working environment. Tiny glass particles become dislodged when the fiber optic cables are moved. A well-ventilated area will help move the particles away from the workers.

  • Use caution when looking into the end of a cable

Before they look into the end of a fiber optic cable, your workers should always use an optical tracer or continuity checker to ensure that the fiber is dark. A power meter can confirm that there is no light source at the other end of the cable.

  • Keep combustible materials at a safe distance

Equipment such as curing ovens and fusion splicers can ignite flammable materials. Your workers should always make sure there are no dangerous materials near this equipment.

  • Contact lens wearers beware!

Those who wear contact lenses must always wash their hands thoroughly before handling their lenses. Glass shards can be transferred to the surface of the eye and cause lacerations.

  • Dispose of scraps properly

Don’t allow your workers to leave scraps of fiber optic material on the shop floor. Walking on them can cause particles to be dislodged and enter the air.

  • Keep all work areas clean

A well-organized cleaning effort for each work area will ensure the safety of all your employees.

Soft Skills to Look for in Your Next Electrician

As you go through the process of hiring your next electrician, you’re bound to focus on a candidate’s skills, experience, and education.

As you go through the process of hiring your next electrician, you’re bound to focus on a candidate’s skills, experience, and education. And while every one of those is important, it also pays to look beyond those technical aspects if you want to find an employee that will add the most value to your organization. You need to examine their so-called soft skills.

Of course, you won’t find these on a resume or cover letter, but you might be able to find them during an interview, perhaps from their social media activities, or by following up on references. While it’s possible to find a capable worker without the following soft skills, those skills will do as much (or more!) to determine a successful hire than choosing by technical talents alone.

Here are just three of the soft skills that your next electrician should bring to your company:

Good Listening Skills

An attentive ear is a must for an electrician. They need to be able to diagnose and fix a wide variety of electrical issues, but first, they need to be listening carefully as a residential or commercial client describes a problem.

Active listeners, such as excellent electricians, pay close attention intending to understand what could be a complex problem fully. This type of listening differs from regular listening which often means the listener is half paying attention while the other half is preparing a response.

Hiring managers can often pick up on the absence of good listening skills during the job interview.

A Cooperative Nature

Electricians will be working with a wide range of people. Clients can be demanding, and construction can be a high-stress business in which contractors, inspectors, and other workers will require an electrician to be cooperative. A successful electrician will be able to evaluate the various personalities on any worksite and find ways to be as cooperative as possible.

Keep in mind that everyone from supervisors to customers will be judging your next electrician just as much by his or her level of cooperation as by the quality of their work.

Patience

One soft skill not to be overlooked is patience. Your electricians will come across many complicated issues that demand more than a quick fix. Patience is exercising self-control and not rushing through these complex problems but instead taking the time to be thorough and exacting. Patient individuals tend to “rub off” on their co-workers, which can result in a less stressful work environment for everyone.

What are the Best Work Boots for Your Shift?

Many men and women work in physically demanding occupations and understand that sore muscles and other discomforts are all part of the job.

Many men and women work in physically demanding occupations and understand that sore muscles and other discomforts are all part of the job. And while there may not be much that they can do to eliminate the physical stresses, there is no need to add sore feet to them.

That’s why it’s essential to find a pair of work boots that will hold up under the demands of an active workday while protecting their feet and keeping them comfortable. That sounds like a tall order, but doing your research and following certain criteria makes it possible to find work boots meant for you.

Ask Yourself a Few Important Questions

  • Does your type of work require steel-toe work boots?
  • If you work around liquid spills, should your boots be slip-proof?
  • Do the boots have to meet Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standards?
  • Do they also need to keep your feet warm during cold weather?
  • Should they be a certain color to meet your company’s dress code?
  • Are you required to climb ladders on the job?

The Proper Fit Should be a Top Priority

Boots that are too short or narrow will end up causing you misery from pinched feet, while those that are large and loose will cause rubbing and painful blisters. Here are a few suggestions for getting the right fit:

  • To get the most accurate fit, wear your work socks while trying on a variety of boots.
  • Do your boot shopping later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
  • Test for the proper length by sliding your foot forward until it touches the front of the boot. Then, bend your knee forward, and make sure you have the width of your index finger between the heel of your foot and the back of the boot.
  • Your boots should bend at the ball of your foot, not at your arch.
  • Your new boots should provide a firm foundation for your foot’s arch.
  • Lace-up your boots in the store to ensure that they are fitting properly and feel comfortable.

Consider the Weight of the Boot

While works boots are typically heavier than other types of footwear, if they are excessively heavy, they could be a drain on your energy. It might pay to choose a lighter weight boot that still gives you the protection and support you need.

Your Work Might Require You to Wear Steel-Toed Boots

If there is a danger of heavy objects falling on your feet, you’ll need to choose a pair with steel tips to protect your feet from being crushed. These boots will be heavy because of the steel toes, and the only other option might be to buy a boot with the toe area made of a lighter-weight composite material.

Leather Material is Usually Your Best Option

Full-grain leather has all the features you would want in a work boot: it’s pliable, lightweight, strong, and durable. It’s not surprising that most high-quality boots are made from it.

The One Thing You Need to Do to Keep Your Best Candidates

The holidays are behind you, and many of your manufacturing customers are starting their 2020 projects. This upsurge in orders means you will need temporary workers to ensure that you complete the extra work on schedule.

The holidays are behind you, and many of your manufacturing customers are starting their 2020 projects. This upsurge in orders means you will need temporary workers to ensure that you complete the extra work on schedule.

Eventually, you will get caught up, and the workload will return to a “normal” level, which means you won’t need the extra help—at least not until the next time you are slammed with orders.

And when that happens, you’ll want to be calling on these temps who have already proven themselves. How do you ensure that they will want to come back? Well, if they enjoyed working at your company, they will return. And if you are looking for permanent help at some point, they might be open to working for you full-time.

A positive experience is the one thing you can control to hang on to your best candidates.

Here’s how you can make that happen:

Keep Employee Morale at a High Level

No one wants to return to a toxic work environment where workers are constantly complaining, and managers treat their temps like disposable goods. Companies that choose higher profits over employee morale will likely not see their best temporary workers return.

Make sure you are treating everyone fairly even if you are saving the tasks that require less skill for the temps. Treat them with respect, and they will look forward to returning.

Give Them the Proper Training

Provide them with whatever they need to feel competent in your workplace. A worker who feels productive and comfortable in your environment will probably appreciate the work and will want to come back.

Provide Them With a Full-Time Employee as a Mentor

Mentoring helps the temporary employee learn about the company and the work. It also helps the permanent worker to develop some supervisory skills.

Show Your Appreciation

Thanking your temps for a job well-done is one of the easiest and most effective ways of making your workplace attractive to them. Mention their contributions during staff and team meetings. Showing different forms of gratitude sends a message that their work is valued.

Let Them Know You’re Looking Forward to Their Return

You shouldn’t assume that temporary workers know you want them to come back in the future. When the rush is over, and you no longer require their services, pull them aside and make a point of letting them know you appreciate their efforts and hope to see them again.

It’s hard to argue against a career as a low-voltage contractor. These technicians fall under the broader career category of Security and Fire Alarm Systems Installers.

  • Customer service: Always looking for ways to help others.
  • Instructing: Successful contractors can teach others.

The Knowledge You Should Have Accumulated

  • Safety and security: You should be familiar with the policies and procedures, along with various types of equipment, that ensure the security of people, data, and property.
  • Telecommunications: Knowledge of transmission, broadcasting, switching, control, and operation of telecommunications systems is critical.

  • Engineering and technology: It’s important to have a general knowledge of the procedures and equipment used in producing a variety of goods and services.
  • Management: Contractors must understand business and management principles that include leadership, planning, coordination of people and materials, and human resources.

Do You Have These Traits?

The following characteristics will serve you well, no matter which career direction you choose:

  • Dependability

Electrician & Breaker Panel

Even as technologies change and become more complex, most residences and businesses still rely on the expertise of trade professionals to maintain the daily functions of their buildings. Electricians, for instance, are needed not only for the wiring and set up of new construction, but also for the upkeep of electrical systems as they age. Electrical staffing agencies provide and invaluable service both to electricians seeking work and to employers seeking electricians. Usually, such staffing services accept resumes and information about the applying electricians and help to match up the qualifications provided with those required by employers for specific jobs and projects. There is usually also an interview process, saving time for both parties who then do so just once instead of multiple times. The service is generally free to the individual electricians, and it is the staff-seekers who usually pay the staffing agency for allocating their workers. In some cases, the electrician will even be paid by the staffing agency instead of directly by the business they end up laboring for.

Staffing services are particularly useful to certified electricians because their work tends to be on a short-term, even one-time basis unlike many other workers who find their work recurring. In fact, if an electrician has done his or her job and done it well, they hopefully will never need to do it again. Thus, electricians will be in a constant search for the next job. Those who create a good report with a staffing agency will have a more streamlined, less pressured experience finding a good amount of labor. Also, because electrical work is considered a tradesman’s craft, electricians can depend on the negotiation of a fair wage for the job done.

While some staffing agencies specialize in only electrical job placement, there are also many companies and sites that do broader construction and trade placement as well. These agencies that have a wider scope usually fold electrical work into their larger umbrella of construction and trade. Specialized staffing services may be beneficial because they tend to be specific and knowledgeable of the specific trade they place in, and may appear more adept and trustworthy because of that specificity. However, larger projects that require more than one specialty will often save time and money by going through a single company for all of their staff instead of contacting multiple types of agencies. Being able to hire carpenters, plumbers, project managers, electricians etc. all at once and all through the same service saves the employer time, confusion and money. In this way, multidisciplinary staffing companies may be more beneficial to job seekers and employers alike. Larger projects may need to hire more workers, upping the chances of hire and income to electricians represented by the staffing agencies they use. Also if a company has had success in the past hiring one type of worker through an agency, for instance, carpenters, they are more likely to hire other sorts of workers, (like electricians), through the same agency.
