RMT closed out the year with an industry-leading safety record once again. RMT and its subcontractors worked over 1.7 million hours in 2012 without a single lost-time incident.

"As projects become more complex, with tighter budgets and schedules, especially in 2012 with rushed deadlines of December 31 ^st to meet the Production Tax Credit expiration, RMT remained focused on safely completing all of our projects," said RMT President John Kennedy. "Meeting our client's goals and bringing our people home safe is a consequence of the culture, commitment, and quality of our people."
