safety and the environment
Every business has a legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety of its employees and other affected stakeholders. However, we believe the right approach isn’t just about doing the minimum required to comply; it is about truly embracing what is right. Furthermore, all of our staff receives on-going training to ensure the most up to date environmental, health and safety compliance, and we embrace a zero incident policy culture. Our safety statistics speak for themselves.
Mile Rail also takes its responsibility to the environment seriously. We promote a green philosophy of beneficial reuse and waste-to-energy as a means of waste disposal. Our goal is to minimize waste in landfills and minimize liability for our clients. Greater than 80% of wastes generated at Mile Rail are integrated into beneficial reuse, off-prime re-use, waste-to-energy or equivalent recycling programs.
