One Touch Make Ready, Scranton, PA / Sept 16, 2022

Celerity’s focus on behavior-based safety has proven to be useful, not only for creating a safe workplace environment, but providing an swift response to an emergency.

Celerity technicians, Ian Schmidt and Christian Oates, were on site performing make ready work when they noticed an elderly man had fallen. Christian saw the incident from his bucket's vantage point and alerted Ian to the situation.

Ian got out of the truck to check on the man and realized he was unconscious.

Luckily, a nurse was driving by the job site and pulled over while Ian was assessing the situation. Ian and Christian provided the first aid kit stocked on their truck to the nurse. She was able to administer first aid until the ambulance arrived on scene.

This was a highly unexpected and unlikely emergency situation for any of our crews to run into, but Ian and Christian responded to it in the best way possible.

Ian and Christian rose to the occasion to help someone. Celerity safety representative stated, "I was proud to hear of the crew’s ability to do the right thing. This is an example of the different problems we may encounter in the field and how many of them are unexpected."

Thank you to Ian and Christian for your swift response to this emergency.
