VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR Shaquille Oliver, equipment operator of District 2 bridge CREW WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS SWIFT RESPONSE AND HEROIC ACTIONS TO CARE FOR AN INJURED COWORKER.
Whereas, Shaquille Oliver is a small equipment operator on the mowing crew of South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and has only been with the Department for two months, transferring just this month from the Edgefield Maintenance group to the District 2 Bridge Crew; and
Whereas, on Thursday, February 29, 2024, the quick actions of two SCDOT Edgefield employees helped save the life of one of their coworkers. When an SCDOT team member was severely injured during the course of performing his duties, Shaquille Oliver and Crew Foreman James Gray responded immediately to provide first aid to the coworker, utilizing first aid kits and a make-shift tourniquet. Then they contacted 911 for emergency medical assistance; and
Whereas, EMS responded promptly and transported the team member to the nearest hospital, which was forty minutes away from the remote job site; and
Whereas, Mr. Oliver assisted Mr. Gray who had recently completed SCDOT's annual First Aid/CPR/AED/Bloodborne Pathogen training, safety protocols, and training which proved valuable and played a major role in preparing them to assess the situation and minimize the severity of the incident. As a result of their actions, the injured employee was stabilized, and a full recovery is expected; and
Whereas, Mr. Oliver lives in Chappells, and he and his beloved wife of nine years, Taylor Oliver, are rearing two fine children, Josiah and Eliania. A person of strong faith originally from Greenwood County, Mr. Oliver previously owned his own tree business, and he still cuts trees and spends time with family in his spare time; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the response of citizens like Shaquille Oliver who care for the well-being of their fellow citizens enough to respond selflessly and help when needed, and the members, along with his injured coworker, thank him for his vital and capable assistance. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Shaquille Oliver, equipment operator of District 2 bridge crew with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, and commend him for his swift response and heroic actions to care for an injured coworker.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Shaquille Oliver.
