National Safety Council Awards First Edward Eagan Soldier of Safety Commendation

At a stirring ceremony in honor of our departed brother and true soldier of safety, Eddie Eagan, the Labor Division of the National Safety Council awarded the first Edward Eagan Soldier of Safety Commendation. The award went to Chuck Monahan of IBEW Local 103 for his tenacious, unrelenting pursuit of workplace safety and his selfless sharing of experience and guidance.

Brother Monahan is a shining example of what it means to be a safety representative. As a Soldier of Safety he challenges each of us to strive for workplace safety and health, as did Brother Eagan.

The S.O.S. Award, as it will be known, is a tribute to the ideals and guidance that Edward Eagan practiced every day of his adult life in the promotion of safety and health for the American worker. This award was presented at the Fall Meeting of the National Safety Labor Division.
