Hamilton shares gift of safety with community

From ODOT-

Hamilton
Construction, the primary construction contractor for the I-5 Willamette River
Bridge Project, reached yet another milestone in safety and in traditional
fashion, gave back to the community.

The
Springfield-based company recently logged in more than 100,000 hours of work
without an injury, according to a recent article by KLCC Public Radio. To
celebrate this, Hamilton donated $10,000 to Northwest Youth Corps, a youth development
and outdoor education organization. They, in turn, will use the money to
enhance their own safety programs.

Construction
can potentially be a very dangerous job, so Hamilton makes worker safety a
priority by using high quality protection equipment and gear and contracting
with safety officers to make sure that it is used properly.

Keeping
track of hours worked without injury is common in this industry. Hamilton has made
it a tradition to donate to a non-profit organization local to the project when
employees achieve safety milestones.
