Spring has finally arrived and summer is just around the corner, which means one thing in Minnesota — orange cones and construction detours. As road crews hit the pavement, it’s important to remember that work zone safety is in YOUR hands.
This year, for National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 2-8), we asked some of Egan’s road field leaders to give first-hand insight, tips, and advice on how to drive safe in construction work zones.

Safety is our number one priority. Safety of all employees, jobsites, and offices is what we strive for daily. Our employees continue this commitment every day, which is shown through numerous milestones achieved this past year.
Safety Stats for 2016
Today marks five years since we lost Craig Carlson and Ron Rajkowski on a highway worksite. They were struck and killed by an inattentive driver in October 2011.
Over 180 employees submitted 324 photos during August’s safety photo contest – Why We Work Safe! Employees were encouraged to show each other what it is that makes them work safely both on and off the job.
We are the safest contractor on the Grand Casino-Mille Lacs expansion project for the month of July! Thank you to PCL Construction for recognizing Egan with this safety award.
Egan Company’s commitment to safety was recognized at the Governor’s Safety Awards Luncheon during the Minnesota Safety & Health Conference. Egan received four Governor’s Safety Awards for achieving safety records better than the 2015 industry average, including an Outstanding Achievement award and three Meritorious Achievement awards!
These awards affirm the great strides we’ve made to uphold safety at Egan, but there is much more work to do in order to reach our ultimate zero-injury goal. We must continue to empower all employees to voice their safety concerns and promote the imperative need for safety at every opportunity.
