Project, Inc. achieved a safety milestone last Tuesday – 400 work days without a loss of time injury! That equates to roughly 1 year, 7 months, and 8 days on the calendar since the last loss time injury. Almost every guest who tours Project, Inc. notices this board and comments on its significance. We place great importance on the safety for those in our care.
We hope you had fun while learning a bit about the social mission we serve at Project, Inc.
