Drew Hall
Drew Hall began his career as a firefighter and EMT. While pursuing his associate’s degree in occupational safety and health, Drew was an industrial firefighter for a large steel mill. Following a ten-year stint at the steel mill, he served as a safety coordinator at a major local foundry before becoming the safety director at Garrison Steel in 2017.
Hall was promoted to Garrison Steel’s director of Human Resources this year. A native of Hamilton in Marion County, Hall currently resides in Springville with his wife and two sons.
Hall said, “As a firefighter, you see a lot of bad situations, many of which are preventable, and it was during that time that I became fascinated by safety protocols and preventing the preventable. I am extremely honored to receive this recognition. It represents years of training paying off and a daily commitment to getting our guys home safe.”
“During his time with our company, Drew has consistently been a champion of training and innovation. He has continually found ways to make our operation safer and more productive,” said Jason Garrison, owner of Garrison Steel. “Drew is unquestionably committed to our company, but his first commitment is to the health and safety of our team. This comes easily for Drew because his genuine care for our employees drives his every decision and idea.”
Safety Professional of the Year is a highly coveted industry award, and ABC says they are committed to highlighting and celebrating the construction industry’s detail-oriented approach to employee safety. Every ABC member understands that their first commitment must be the health and safety of their team.
