Elderlee, Inc. is dedicated to maintaining a safe work environment at every level of our organization. Our goal is to continuously improve our methods to keep our workers safe. We are proud of our open door policy, and encourage our employees to bring recommendations or issues to our attention. We proudly work with our employees, outside consultants, the New York State Department of Labor, and OSHA to continually improve our safety program.
Over the past years, Elderlee has implemented numerous safety initiatives to make our construction workers more safe and visible while working in high traffic situations. We repainted our entire truck fleet bright red instead of the historic gray, added high visibility LED lights to our equipment, and invested in high quality personal protection equipment (PPE). We have also outfitted many of our trucks with backup cameras, supplemental side view mirrors, and custom Maintenance and Protection of Traffic (MPT) baskets for setting up the work zone.
Elderlee, Inc. conducts frequent internal and external loss control inspections. Our efforts to improve safety have elevated the company to a higher lever that emphasizes a growing culture of safety.

Elderlee was furthered honored by receiving the AGC’s Grand Prize Award for Construction Safety Excellence.

Elderlee, Inc. has since been honored by the Maryland Quality Initiative (MdQI) with an Award for Excellence in the category of Traffic and Safety. This was awarded in recognition of a sign installation project located at I-895 (Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway), including all interchange ramps and approach roadways in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County for the Maryland Transportation Authority.
These honors reflect the commitment to safety that our employees have worked so hard to develop, and we are extremely proud of their commitment to continuous improvement.
