Jerral Wyer
Transportation Ops Business Advisor, TxDot
Jerral Wyer began his career with TxDOT in 1991 as a Field Safety Representative. In 1992 he was
promoted to Safety and Industrial Hygiene Section Director where he served for 19 years. In 2010 Jerral
was promoted to the Occupational Safety Division Director position. Under his guidance and with the
support of operations, he established a comprehensive team approach to Safety. This includes a “hands
on” and “all in” concept with a focus on awareness, education, training, and participation from
supervisors, management and every employee. Over the years, under Jerral’s leadership, this concept
has ultimately helped to reduce the number of injuries in the Department from approximately 1600 to
below 200 injuries in 2016.
Jerral retired in August 2016 and recently returned to the Agency serving as Transportation Operations
Business Advisor.
Jerral is a 1986 Graduate of Texas A&M University
