Granite (NYSE:GVA) is proud to announce that its Handley Ranch
Quarry has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious 2023
CalCIMA Excellence in Safety award in the Small Aggregate Mine
category.
The California Construction and Industrial Materials Association
(CalCIMA) Excellence in Safety awards recognize outstanding
achievements in promoting and maintaining a culture of safety
within the mining industry. Granite has consistently demonstrated
its commitment to safety through innovative practices and
initiatives at its Handley Ranch Quarry.
Key highlights of Granite's safety initiatives at Handley Ranch
Quarry include:
- Material Fallout Reduction: The quarry's dedicated team
implemented a swinging chute system to minimize exposure to
material fallout during material changes. This modification not
only enhances safety but also streamlines operational
efficiency.

reducing administrative burdens on employees, Granite’s Handley
Ranch Quarry has successfully reduced the amount of documentation
required during work shifts, ensuring that employees can focus more
on their tasks while maintaining compliance.
- Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration: The Handley Ranch
Quarry team proactively addressed safety concerns by inviting other
industry operators to the plant. This initiative facilitated the
sharing of best practices learned from safety inspectors,
contributing to a collective effort to reduce the risk of sprain
and strain injuries.
“As a leader in the industry, Granite is committed to fostering
a workplace culture that prioritizes safety and innovation,” said
Dave Hulverson, Granite Senior Vice President of Safety, Health,
