Chris Hibler, Foreman, was awarded a Quanta Commitment Coin on December 5th, 2023. During the review of an upcoming jobsite, Chris heard loud calls for help. As he approached a nearby house, he again heard a loud call for help. Chris entered the residence and found an elderly woman who had fallen out of her wheelchair and was unable to move. He immediately assisted the woman, contacted 911, and remained at the residence until the paramedics arrived; going above and beyond to aid and comfort the elderly woman. His immediate response and assistance are a testament to him and his commitment to safety.

Quanta Commitment Coin Award

MJE Project Manager Tony Gartland was awarded a Quanta Commitment Coin for his dedication to safety. While attending a local hockey game, Tony noticed a player fall backward and become non-responsive. Upon assessment there was no pulse, so CPR was started until an AED was brought to the scene. When no one took charge of the situation, Tony took the lead, hooked up the AED, and administered a shock. Quickly, the person regained consciousness and was transported to the hospital. Tony was instrumental in leading these lifesaving efforts by relying on his safety training. His quick response and assistance are a testament to him and his commitment to safety.
