Recently our Waynesville Quarry in North Carolina was awarded the Mining Star Award at a luncheon held in their honor. They are now one of six mines, and the only aggregate mine in the state to hold the award, which makes them part of an elite group that has designed and implemented outstanding safety and health programs. Oldcastle Materials congratulates the employees of the Waynesville Quarry on their accomplishment.




Michael Davis, division president of Harrison Construction Co., and Lee Cole, Oldcastle’s safety and health director, both had words of praise for the group. Mr. Davis told the men that he appreciates the effort that went into this accomplishment. “Our Division has an incredible 5.2 million hours without a lost-time injury. I challenge the Martin Mariettas and Vulcans of the world today. We need more quarries to achieve the level of safety that it takes to earn this award. Now that you have the award, don’t let up.” Mr. Cole thanked the group on behalf of Oldcastle for their commitment and excellence in safety performance. He added that they are now the benchmark for safety best practices at Oldcastle.
