<br />KEY STAFF We all Hold the Keys to Safety
<br />Safety is a core value at DLZ. As such, we are lucky
<br />to have a full-time dedicated safety professional,
<br />Phil Yrjanson, that works with our Indiana team.
<br />Phil’s responsibility is to visit project sites and work
<br />with our teams on injury and accident prevention.
<br />He also leads our monthly targeted field safety
<br />training. In recent months he or our staff have
<br />noted several deficient items in the field and shared
<br />those lessons learned with the entire staff in order
<br />to raise awareness. Some examples include:
<br />• Alerted a contractor that their workers were
<br />performing hot welding while standing on a gas line
<br />attached to a bridge.
<br />• Noted several instances of inconsistent use of
<br />PPE and emphasizing to wear the same PPE as
<br />the worker performing the task or move to a safe
<br />location outside the work zone.
<br />• Alerted contractor to loose handrail that had an
<br />insufficient nail pattern.
