Joseph Morgan, an employee of HCAR's Rest Stop Crew, received an HCAR Safety Award for noticing and informing his supervisor of a potentially dangerous safety hazard at the CalTrans Rest Stop. Joe recognized a tree that was uprooted and ready to fall down and alerted his supervisor. His supervisor was able to alert CalTrans who was very grateful for Joe's sharp eye and quick attention to the matter. They removed the tree and avoiding a situation that could have gotten much worse.
Thanks, Joe!
