Putting "Safety First" Wins Zero Injury Award

Runnebohm Construction Company recently received the Zero Injury Award for 2004 at the Annual Safety Achievements Award reception by the Metro Indianapolis Coalition for Contractor Safety (MICCS). This marks the second consecutive year that Runnebohm Construction has received this award.

The MICCS is a coalition of construction industry leaders devoted to worker and construction site safety. Its mission is to obtain zero injuries on central Indiana construction sites. Members in this organization include construction companies, users of construction services, design professionals and construction-affiliated organizations and companies.

Nick Runnebohm, President of Runnebohm Construction Company, said "The safety and health of Runnebohm Construction employees plus all other individuals on or near our projects has always been a prime concern of this company. We have strived to maintain a good safety record over the years and have progressively worked to reduce on the job accidents and injuries."

Runnebohm has developed a proven safety control program accompanied by a written Safety & Health Policy Manual, which includes guidelines set forth by OSHA's Safety and Health Standards.

Nick also said, "Safety at Runnebohm Construction is more than policies and procedures - it is an attitude. Company wide commitment, from senior management through to the individual worker, is what keeps our safety program moving forward and developing to meet new challenges".

Accidents cost time and money, but most of all, accidents can cause needless suffering and can even cost lives. Runnebohm Construction firmly believes that safety is not just a requirement, but a part of our organizational culture, and we are driven to ensure that safety is a priority in the company.
