Walker Employee, Richard Sigala's Quick Thinking Saves a Man's Life at Jobsite. In June, Walker recognized Network Foreman Richard Sigala for stepping into action and saving another man’s life. While working at the Texas Health Resources Mansfield site in Midlothian, Richard noticed another subcontractor employee lying on the floor convulsing. The worker appeared to be having a seizure. ‍ Richard opened his mouth and saw that he was choking on his tongue.“I turned him over on his side and pulled his tongue out so he could start to breathe and grabbed a small piece of wood nearby to hold his jaw open while waiting for help to arrive,” said Richard. "I yelled so loud for help, staff from the hospital said they could hear me on the other end of the building.” Richard made sure the man was stable and stayed with him until help arrived. ‍ Walker would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for Richard’s commitment to safety and for leading by example. Richard credits Walker’s DFW Network Safety Manager Luis Perez for giving his team the proper hands on training and learning how to stay calm and knowing what to do during a medical emergency, even if you’re the only other person around. . . #WeAreWalker #TheWalkerWay #InTheNews #WalkerLeaders #Construction #SafetyFirst #Electrical (at Walker Engineering, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCZgwUn3Vr/?igshid=8itbyl3woqo9
