It’s National Safety Month and we’re focusing on three key areas that help us work safe at Egan: Awareness, Action, and Accountability.
This week our attention is on Accountability. Two Egan team members share their insight on holding each other accountable when it comes to working safely.
Q: How can we better hold each other accountable to achieve zero injuries?
“Always say something if you see a co-worker performing a task unsafe. We can learn from each other by speaking up and demonstrating the correct, safe way to do things. This way we keep each other accountable and get to go home injury-free.” – Tony Klema, Egan Project Manager
Q: What would achieving zero injuries mean to Egan?
“Achieving zero injuries means Egan could approach all of our projects with even more confidence. A high emphasis on safety speaks volumes to new and existing customers and being able to demonstrate stability and trust with them is important. Also, zero injuries keeps my coworkers and I coming home at the end of the day to our families.” – Terry Fredericks, Egan Panel Shop Field Leader

This week our attention is on Action. Two Egan team members share their insight on taking action in order to stay safe.
Q: As a Field Leader, how do you continuously maintain safety on the jobsite?
“We maintain safety on the job by emphasizing that the crew speaks up. Whether they see something they feel is unsafe or see another trade working unsafe, they should always make the superintendent or myself aware so immediate action can be taken.“ – Mark Hoffman, Egan Glazier Field Leader
Q: How do you empower your crew to speak up if they see unsafe work happening?
“Having open discussions every day gives the crew an opportunity to voice their safety concerns and builds trust among the group. I try to reiterate that any safety issue that arises should be brought to my attention and I make sure to address or act on their concerns immediately, regardless of its severity, so they always feel comfortable speaking up.” – Ben Tronson, Egan Pipefitter Field Leader

Q: How do you make sure all employees on your jobsite are aware of the importance of our safety culture?
“Understanding the importance of our safety culture starts in the morning as we go through our Daily Safety Plan and morning stretching. Additionally, we always stress the importance of wearing full PPE. I also constantly try to encourage the crew to not be afraid to speak up if there is a tool or equipment that could make the job easier or safer.” – Anthony Sailer, Egan Electrical Field Leader
Q: What is one way every Egan employee can contribute toward achieving zero injuries?
“Staying aware of everything happening around the jobsite should always be top priority.
