In every perceived problem, lies an opportunity for personal or professional growth. A good workforce morale will pay off in more ways than just monetarily.

Maybe all those leadership classes I took in college have actually paid off! Anyways, I agree completely with your assessment. B&B can actually spin this unfortunate event into a positive. You can stress the importance of work safety to your crew and put emphasis on working safely. Draw up some guidelines that you expect your crew to follow, and just as important, dedicate yourself to following them as well. Maybe take your guys out to lunch and discuss some things that you'd like to see changed or improved. No names need be mentioned, speak to them as a team. Increased awareness on the job isn't going to hurt you, that is for sure.

Yeah, there might be a chance to get it out of the lake. If he was working on the boat by the dock, the water probably isn't that deep, and it probably sank like a log, given the weight of the Cyclo. And it being metal, it should be easy to pick up via metal detection or sonar.
Sucks for now though.

ALOT of good points here - thanx guys.
Id love to turn it into a positive thing - but the guy has been here 2 weeks, been a couple hours late one day, didn't show up for 2 days, and now this. Im pretty sure we are handling it well for his horrible start - he still has a job. His work ethic is great and we don't have to go over his work surprisingly enough, only thing keeping him around. If we had tons of money sitting in the account I would have been more than happy to say o well, but we don't and can't. Our focus is growth on a tight budget and it is working and working well, but loosing this tool hurts us with scheduling and money wise. By far tied with the steamer for most used tool for us. Instead of scheduling 4 Level 2's in a day (about 600 Revenue), we can now only schedule 2. THAT HURTS!
I will find out tomorrow or weds how deep it is and if possible may seriously go get it lol - let it dry out and pray it didn't go towards the light!
Thanx again everyone for your advice and allowing me to vent.
