I commute daily through the construction zones located between mile marker 139 Lebanon on Rt 65 through to Zionsville area. I was DREADING this major road work & the havoc it would have on my commute time. All summer I have watched Milestone's professional approach to what could have been a real hassle to drivers. I am VERY impressed with Milestone. The workers are always working, I don't witness a lot of wasted resource down time. They seem professional. Whomever is overseeing and implementing this project deserves a real "KUDOS" because from a commuter perspective, you have done a wonderful job of keeping traffic flowing, being sensitive to the needs of traffic flow while still getting a difficult job done. You haven't caused me too many delays, I always see lots of progress and it seems like a real organized, well run project. I am impressed with Milestone as are others I have mentioned this to. So this is just a "good job" call out to your company. THANK YOU (oh, & I believe I may be the only commuter that DOES 45 MPH in presense of your workers/blinking lights. Its my way of not only following the law, but doing so out of respect to your men/woman working out there. THANKS AGAIN.

SAFETY COMMITTED
Milestone's 2010 EMR = .55
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."
