P&H Mining Equipment's Milwaukee Operations received an Outstanding Achievement Award for Excellence in Safety During 2005 from the Wisconsin Council of Safety and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. Awards were given in 16 categories based on the size of business and type of business, as defined by SIC code. "This year's finalists are strong companies in two respects," said Bryan Roessler, WCS Director. "First and foremost, they all have strong safety programs and have documented the positive impact of those programs. Safe companies are also profitable companies, so their safety efforts are reflected in the bottom line."
