Safety is our #1 Priortiy
Every Move Counts
Ellison Mills Contracting's safety slogan, “Every Move Counts,” is a way to remind every employee about their actions. Whether you are working around a traffic work zone, heavy equipment, an excavation, or in a confined space, your move matters. Failure to make the right decision or the right move can have a negative impact and potential injuries.
Every Move Counts is more than a slogan—it is how we conduct business as a company, is how we deliver a quality project, is how we interact with the community and clients, and it also means that we will be safety conscious and make the right safety decisions. “Every Move Counts” is about making the positive moves resulting in a positive image, positive projects, and creating a positive and safe work environment.
