Congratulations to Safety Champion, Dan Silverman.

Dan was nominated for routinely going above and beyond when it comes to his personal safety and those of his co-workers.  

Recently, Dan has been the paver operator on nights for a high-profile route on the US 30 job. Portions of this job called for the use of our spray paver. Dan has always taken great care of the equipment he has operated on and is very meticulous when it comes to the cleanliness of our equipment. Dan attempted to clean the spray paver and noticed there was not a safe way to access critical components without exposing him and his co-workers to a fall hazard. Safety Representative Kevin Wool met him on-site to brainstorm ways to safely clean the equipment.  

Together, they decided to rent an aerial lift that employees could utilize to clean the paver and keep it operating efficiently. Because Dan assessed the situation, Milestone can continue to keep our employees safe on the job. 

Not only has Dan stepped up to protect our team from this safety hazard, but he has also been instrumental in eliminating our heat-related illness cases by suggesting clothing that offers UV protection and cooling effects for employees. 

Thank you, Dan, for your dedication to the protection of yourself and others. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
