Flatiron Texas Safety is on quite the \u201chot streak\u201d!<\/p>\n
For the fourth straight year Flatiron\u2019s Texas District has been awarded the Bluebonnet Safety Award<\/i>. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Texas chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) give out the accolade.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese awards are not possible without the continued support and engagement from our employees, their supervisors, the project management teams, up through Flatiron\u2019s executive leadership,\u201d says Texas District Safety Manager James Walcik.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not all for Flatiron\u2019s Lone Star State safety team. <\/span><\/p>\n The AGC also awarded the Texas District its Certificate of Commendation<\/i> for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n Flatiron received the awards for having in an incident rate 25% below the awarding bodies\u2019 benchmarks.<\/p>\n \u201cTruly a team effort\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThis is a significant achievement for our Texas team,\u201d says Flatiron Vice President of Divisional Operations for Texas and Colorado Nick Polce. \u201cI\u2019m proud to be part of an organization that values the health and safety of our employees and is committed to delivering safe projects to our clients.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n For Walcik, practicing Flatiron\u2019s foundational core value is a way of life. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is truly a team effort, and I am extremely proud to be a part of the Texas District,\u201d he says. \u201cWe all strive to ensure that everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n An already strong team grows stronger<\/b><\/p>\n Flatiron Texas has always adhered to extremely strict project safety guidelines. This year however, Walcik says additional measures were established. One example is safety managers now meet with project and area managers every two weeks. The group examines current safety trends and statistics. These meetings allow supervisors to identify any risk areas as early as possible, and get them addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Texas AGC also gives us a Certificate of Commendation Flatiron Texas Safety is on quite the \u201chot streak\u201d!
