<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.
