Safety: It's a Family Affair |
| Mellott Company has been a
family-owned business since 1927, and as with any family, we want
everyone to return home injury-free. Our company lives to provide
our customers with the best possible service and product, but our
employees live for their families and loved ones. This is very
important to us and our responsibility to the families that love our
employees is one that we take very seriously. |

| 1 Million Man-Hours
|
|
In May 2009, Mellott Company reached a major milestone with respect
to employee safety. We proudly announced that our employees
had worked One Million Man Hours without a lost workday due to
injury. This record dates back to September 2006 and includes
employees in all areas of the Company: Crushing Services, Equipment
Services, Fabrications, Engineering, Sales, Warehousing, and
Administrative Support. We at Mellott Company celebrate this
achievement and reaffirm our commitment to promoting a safe and
healthy work environment through proactive safety management,
education, and clear and open commnication. |

Compliance with Regulations |
Compliance
with the regulations of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Motor Carrier Safety
Improvement Act are our minimal requirements. In order to ensure
that no workers are injured, the aim of our safety program has to be
much higher. We educate and train all our employees as safety
guardians. Many of our job locations are constantly changing-and
so are the hazards. Our employees know that in addition to their
own safety, they must also be alert and take action to ensure the safety
of all employees and visitors at our locations. Just like a family, we look out for each other. It's the only way and the right way. |
Innovative Safety Programs |
|
Mining and the manufacturing and transportation of mining
equipment is a tough and dangerous business. We have been
blessed with hardworking and caring employees who have
created many innovative safety programs and improvements.
The Mellott family has been in the business for a long time
and many of our competitors are also our friends. As our
friends, we care about their safety and the safety of their
employees and loved ones. Therefore, in the spirit of
helping each other, we have posted many of our training
programs, policies, and safety improvements on this website. |

Safety is important to everyone and maybe our help is just enough to
avoid an injury or fatality that we may never know about. And that's
okay with us, because it's the right thing to do and we are proud of it.
