PRESIDENT’S Message Despite the economic challenges our country and industry experienced over the past few years, I am pleased and proud to report to you that Cianbro completed another successful year in 2012. I am grateful for your efforts and I want to thank and commend each of you personally for your contributions to our success. Working safely and efficiently has allowed our company to prosper and grow despite the uncertainties that exist during these difficult economic times. It is important to recognize and thank our clients who place their trust in Cianbro, who have confidence in our capabilities, and who continue to support our team. Without their support, our success would be limited. In terms of safety, Cianbro has now worked more than 39 months and in excess of ten million work hours without a single lost work day. A zero lost time injury rate for over three years is a remarkable achievement given the risks that are inherent in our business. Our recordable incident rate continues to be equally impressive at just over 1.0. We know that the bar is set high and it requires constant effort and focus. These excellent safety results are a tribute to your ability to plan, communicate, and execute the work. It is my expectation that everyone leaves work in the same, or better, condition than when they arrive. It is Andi Vigue through your continued dedication and commitment to our safety programs that this expectation becomes “Cianbro has now reality.
