"We are honored to be the first company in the tower industry to receive this prestigious award by EHS Today magazine," said Catherine Drouin, vice president Green Mountain Communications Inc.

”The 2008 America's Safest Companies honorees represent not only outstanding achievement domestically, but prove that one of our most valuable exports is the knowledge and will to conduct safe operations globally. If there were an Olympics held for safety, these companies would all deserve gold medals," said Stephen Minter, publisher of EHS Today.
