Tweet/Garot Mechanical of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has attained a historic safety milestone, working 8 Million Safe Hours without a lost-time incident.  This achievement occurred in January 2014 and spans over an 11 ½ year period beginning in June of 2002.  Based on statistics from the Bureau of Labor, the average mechanical contractor working 8 million hours would have 89 injuries leading to lost work time while Tweet/Garot has had ZERO injuries leading to lost work time.

Tweet/Garot CEO, Tim Howald, and Safety Director, Gabe Gutenberger, attribute Tweet/Garot’s safety success to the efforts involved in their constantly improving safety program, and the “relentless safety dedication” of their employees.

Tweet/Garot introduced its Zero Injury program in January, 2004, which raised the expectations of all employees to promote safety awareness proactively.  Since that time, Tweet/Garot Mechanical continues to be one of the innovative, pro-active contractors who make workplace safety an ever-evolving and improving process.
