Matlock Hall of Fame
Safety Award Winner
Ricky went to Delta Faucet on 2/16/2026 to look at some issues they were having on a smaller boiler. When he walked in the door he knew he smelled gas. He immediately located the gas leak. He then notified Larry Pruitt at Delta and let him know of his findings. Ricky secured the area of the leak and scheduled for another employee to return and resolve the issue. Ricky deserves our Safety Award as this could have caused major issues like fire, explosion, injury to employees at Delta, or property damage.
