SAFETY COMMITTED
Milestone's 2007 EMR = .45
At
Milestone Contractors, LP, our goal is: Zero recordables and zero lost day incidents. We're committed
not only to reducing the frequency, severity,
and cost of incidents and injuries, but
also to creating an environment where
they do not occur. To meet this commitment,
we promote and encourage a culture of
Safe Production. In "Safe Production"
culture, safety is never sacrificed for
production or cost savings. Instead,
safety and production are seen as one
and the same, creating a safe and productive
job site.
The success of our safety program in the Safe Production
culture depends on the safety and well
being of each employee. To achieve this,
we obtain the commitment and support
of all employees to work safely. We train
employees in expected safety behaviors
and empower them to stop production should
a safety concern arise. Furthermore, we educate our employees on how to identify a "Near-Miss" or potentially hazardous situation as a lesson learned to be shared throughout Milestone. The training
and empowerment of our employees is the
cornerstone of the Safe Production culture
- a culture we are committed to maintaining
well after our goal of zero losses is
achieved.
"A great safety program at work carries home with all employees as a benefit to the families of our valued employees."
