Midwest Mole wins ICA Safety Award

The inscription reads: “Leader in Construction Employee Safety”. On November 20, 2008, the Indiana Construction Association recognized Midwest Mole as one of seven ICA member companies to receive the 2008 Gold Summit Award for excellence in employee safety. This is a special award for Midwest Mole as it was an opportunity for our safety program, and how our employees and supervisors view our program, to be compared with other companies of similar size that perform the same type of work.

The ICA Safety Awards Program recognizes ICA member general contractors, prime contractors, construction managers and subcontractors for their commitment to excellence in employee and jobsite safety.

A review team from ICA visited our worksite in Cincinnati conducting a safety inspection and interviewing the workers and supervisors. The inspectors were challenged to find any discrepancies at a worksite that involved many complex hazards.

At Midwest Mole, our motto has always been “Safety First.” Through this award Midwest Mole’s commitment to safety was recognized throughout the industry.
