Greene County Construction Workers’ Safety Improved by Agreement
INDIANAPOLIS – Worker safety is on the front of everyone’s mind in a new cooperative agreement between Fred Weber, Inc and the Indiana Department of Labor (IDOL). The agreement gives IDOL permission to review and approve Fred Weber, Inc’s written safety program for its workers on the I-69 construction project to begin in Greene County later this year.
