🦺 Safety Corner
Safety First, Every Day
This quarter's tip: stay hydrated
It's hot, and staying hydrated is one of the best ways to work safely.
Whether you're in an attic, on a jobsite, or working outdoors, drink water throughout the day — don't wait until you're thirsty. Take breaks in the shade when possible and watch for signs of heat-related illness such as dizziness, headache, excessive sweating, or confusion. Staying hydrated helps keep you safe, healthy, and performing at your best. Gatorade, electrolyte powders, and coconut water are other ways to stay hydrated with some flavor.
Safety starts with taking care of yourself. Drink up and stay cool!
Safety Recognition
Congratulations to Ken Nelson for receiving Gilbane Construction's Outstanding Safety Performance Award for his contributions to the MOB and Parking Garage Projects. Ken's commitment to safety, attention to detail, and leadership in the field reflect the high standards we strive for at Eau Gallie Electric.
⭐ Customer Kudos
Our customers are the reason we do what we do, and nothing says "job well done" better than positive feedback from those we serve.
"Service That Stands Out"
I've been an Eau Gallie Electric customer for 15–20 years, and Jack's recent generator service visit reminded me why I continue to choose EGE. He was exceptionally professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. From the front desk to the field, your team consistently makes customers feel valued and demonstrates a true commitment to excellence. Jack is yet another reason I will continue to support and recommend Eau Gallie Electric.
"Going Above and Beyond"
Desi was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain every step of our project. Her commitment to doing the job right made a stressful situation much easier, and it's why I would confidently recommend Eau Gallie Electric to others.
Thank You for Being Part of the Eau Gallie Electric Family
Together, we continue to live out our mission to Answer God's Call to Change Lives and serve our customers, teammates, and community with excellence.
