In March, our team got word that the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor awarded the team at DeSoto Plant a Certificate of Achievement in Safety. The certificate recognized the team’s accomplishment of working 32,374 hours without a lost workday injury in 2019. The Bulldog Crusher Team was also awarded the honor for working 5,066 hours without a lost workday injury that same year.

Eddie Ragsdale, Superintendent of Wash Plants, shared, “It makes me proud to see these teams get any award, especially safety [recognition] from MSHA. Our guys really watch out for each other and try to avoid all accidents [in the process].”
