Kelly-Hill Company Safety

Since 1955, Kelly-Hill Company has been committed to the best safety practices and standards. Annually, Kelly-Hill dedicates a minimum of two days of safety training for all workers as part of our company-generated training program. In 2017, we welcomed training instructors from the Federal Railroad Administration, Kansas City Power and Light, and the Midwest Builders Casualty Group.

 

We are proud to review our 2017 safety record as we prepare to enter 2018.

  • 2017 OSHA Recordable Incidents: 0
  • Company Vehicle Accident Score: 0.67
  • Company Safety Briefings: 650-900 January 1st-September 30th

 

Additionally, Kelly-Hill uses NRC Toolbox Topics, which are discussed weekly during operations meetings. Topics range from Physical Environment and Tools & Equipment to Electrical Safety, and help to maintain strict safety standards in our daily operations.

Project Highlight: Black Rock, AR

Back in January, Kelly-Hill Company completed construction of a 13,854 track foot loop track for the American Silica production facility in Black Rock, Arkansas. We have started construction on the facility’s second loop track. We will be constructing approximately 8,600 track feet with six No. 11 turnouts, relocating one existing turnout and 400 track feet of bad order track. Construction is scheduled for completion by December 2017.

Project Highlight: Midwest Farmers Coop

Kelly-Hill Company attended an open house for the rail shuttle facility at Midwest Farmers Coop’s facility in Syracuse, NE last week. The facility is highly automated (one of only two in Nebraska) and is able to load rail cars at 60,000 to 80,000 bushels of corn per hour. Kelly-Hill Company constructed the 11,550 feet of track back in 2016. Fun facts: the average train length is more than 100 cars and an individual car can be loaded in under four minutes.
