Miller Ingenuity announced it has been selected for a 2016-17 WorldSafe Award for its work in rail maintenance safety.
Miller was recognized for its new product called ZoneGuard, which the company describes as "an innovative, electronic roadway worker protection system that adheres to and improves current rail-safety standards, provides crew protection, and increases productivity."
CEO Steve Blue accepted the WorldSafe Award at the 3rd annual WorldSafe Gala, held at the Delta Flight Museum this past Saturday, November 19.
“ZoneGuard is the world’s most advanced system for warning and protecting railway track workers,” said Blue. “The ZoneGuard team has dedicated their lives and their careers to saving lives in the rail industry. We are honored to accept this recognition and are determined to continue our mission of providing high-technology, safety-critical solutions for railway worker protection.”
Company CEO Steve Blue noted that the firm’s goal is to save lives and believes that with its new ZoneGuard product, "the number of fatalities from rail track maintenance will drop significantly."
“Many people don’t realize how vulnerable rail workers are who maintain our rail network – yet, each year, there are roughly a dozen lives lost,” noted Safe America CEO Len Pagano. “Thanks to Miller Ingenuity, this number can drop to zero – allowing rail lines to be maintained without having anyone lost.”
