I.C.A.R.E. About Your Safety

By Zebediah Dintelman, Manager Rail Grinding

For those of you who regularly check your email (assuming you do if you’re reading this highly anticipated issue
of “Track N’ Times”) you have probably notice “Because I.C.A.R.E About Your Safety.” This obvious, yet
clever play on words incorporates Loram’s Core Values and reinforces our safety message all while rebranding
the Because I.C.A.R.E slogan.
So, what does “Because I.C.A.R.E About Your Safety.” mean?

Let’s get a little personal first….
When we first introduced “Because I.C.A.R.E About Your Safety.” I sat back and thought about the reasons I
work safe. The reason why I care about my own safety. The reasons why I need to return home safe. The rea-
son why my ability to work and provide for my family is important.

So, why do I choose to work safe?
Family / Friends – Those who know me,
know that I am extremely tight with my family
and friends. Whether it be playing soccer with
my nephew, road tripping with my childhood
best friend, or listening to stories told by my
85-year-old grandfather, I have always had peo-
ple in my life that expect me to return home
safe.

Hobbies – As an avid outdoorsman, it takes
great vision, phenomenal hearing, and effortless
mobility to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest.
With hands, eyes, and soft tissue injuries being
the top three types of injuries at Loram in re-
cent years, unsafe actions could jeopardize my
ability to enjoy my passion of the great out-
doors.
Loram / Expectations – As roadway work-
ers, it is our responsibility to work safe, pro-
tect one another, and hold each other account-
able in the event of a safety violation. Unsafe
work can lead to financial instability due to dis-
ciplinary measures, or more importantly the My Reasons to Work Safe!!
inability to provide for one’s family if incapaci-
tated due to injury or death.
