Gauging Our EHS Sustainability Performance
Amtrak EHS Annual Report 2010 | 42
Dr. Gary Burch Memorial Award: This award recognizes the individual
railroad employee judged to have done the most to improve the safety of railroad
passengers in a given year.
The Amtrak nominee Juan Bernal, Mechanical Foreman in San Antonio, TX,
won the award for 2010.
Harold F. Hammond Safety Award: This award was established in 1986
and is awarded to an individual railroad employee who has demonstrated
outstanding safety achievement during the preceding year.
Michael Pollick, Director, Safety, Philadelphia, was the nominee for the
2010 awards.
National Train Day: The EHS department staffed one of the main exhibits at
Amtrak’s National Train Day events in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago and
Los Angeles in May 2010. The Eco-Exhibit, an interactive display shaped like a
train car and featuring information and questions and answers about trains,
Amtrak, and the environment, was popular among individuals of all ages. EHS
department staff interacted with visitors who asked questions such as “How many
automobiles does Amtrak’s Auto Train remove from Interstate 95 between Virginia
and Florida every year?” (Answer: 106,000)
