Each year, BNSF hosts the “Employee of the Year” program, celebrating the employees who best demonstrate BNSF’s vision and values through their commitment and leadership, as well as their focus on working safely and efficiently to meet and exceed customer expectations. This year, four employees from across our major operations teams were each awarded the high honor of “Safety Employee of the Year” for their outstanding commitment to safe workplace practices. Whether repairing track after natural disasters, maintaining railroad signals, manufacturing helpful tools, or reducing inefficiencies with new technology, our 2021 Safety Employees of the Year embody our longstanding commitment to being the industry leader in safety.
