Safely Building Infrastructure Takes A Total Team Effort
(3rd Quarter 2009)

Building and maintaining transportation infrastructure takes a total team effort. So does keeping everyone safe in and around our job sites.

We applaud the efforts of our operating units for keeping their focus on safety and reaching impressive safety milestones.

We can’t do it alone, however. We also call on the traveling public to take seriously the obligation we all share to drive cautiously around road construction work.

Employee safety training and maintenance of traffic programs are designed to protect workers and the traveling public. And they will — if motorists will drive with caution and awareness as they pass road improvement projects.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of needless work zone tragedies as America builds and maintains its critical transportation infrastructure.

Drivers everywhere, you’re part of the team, too. We need you to be cautious and alert as you proceed through road construction zones!

In Memoriam:
Ranger Construction’s Jesus Resendiz-Banales, PaveSmart’s Steven Dunn
(3rd Quarter 2009)

It is with great sadness and regret that the management and employees of Ranger Construction and equipment vendor PaveSmart mourn the loss of two fellow workers, killed by a vehicle that veered into a properly marked road construction zone.

The tragedy claimed the lives of Jesus Resendiz-Banales, an Asphalt Laborer with Ranger Central, and Steven Dunn, owner of PaveSmart, who was providing product support. A third worker, Ranger Paving Foreman Clint Tally, was injured. The driver was arrested on DUI manslaughter and other charges.
 
Jesus was hired by Ranger in March 2009. He quickly proved his worth as a valuable member of the paving crew. He was well-liked by fellow workers for his strong work ethic and willingness to pitch in to get the job done.
 
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the Vecellio Group, Ranger Construction and PaveSmart go out to the family and friends of Jesus and Steven, who both will be sincerely missed, and to Clint for his speedy recovery.
