VEC Safety Milestone!

Kudos to our VEC team at CITGO for contributing to the huge milestone recognized with the attached flyer! This flyer was handed out at the gates this morning and recognizes CITGO contractors for one full year (1.7 million hours worked) free of OSHA recordable injuries.

With all the project work as well as the vast array of high and low hazard activities taking place daily at CITGO, this type of success happens because everyone stays alert to the hazards of their surroundings, communicates constantly with one another, and never hesitates to speak up or stop work as necessary to make corrections.

Good job and best wishes to everyone at CITGO for another safe year!

Griffith Office Update


The Griffith office construction is nearing completion on schedule even with the devastating storms that struck last week. The building suffered no damage although many of our neighbors were less fortunate. We hope that with power being restored late last week that those suffering losses can recover quickly.

FCL Builders, the construction company, should complete their work and be ready for the final walk-through at the end of August. Installation of the furniture, cubicles and communication wiring will then begin with move-in projected for the end of September or early October. We are very pleased with the speed and results of the entire construction process and are excited about opening our new office to better serve our clients in northwest Indiana.
