WESTON Passes 10-Year Milestone in UXO Safety

West Chester, Pa. - April 4, 2000 - Roy F. Weston, Inc., a leading infrastructure redevelopment firm, announced today that the company has completed ten years of unexploded ordnance (UXO) remediation work without a safety incident.

"This is quite an accomplishment and a tribute to our people and safe work ethic," said Patrick G. McCann, WESTON's president and chief operating officer. "We have logged thousands of hours of UXO work since 1990 without any loss of life, serious injury or emergency situation. Our success has been and will continue to be based on our high safety and quality performance standards."

The company also announced it has been designated an Approved UXO Contractor by the Army's Directorate of Safety, Health and Environment (DSHE) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. "We view this approval as further evidence of our excellent UXO safety record," McCann said.

The company has completed over $40 million of restoration work at APG and was one of the first contractors to use robotic equipment to identify and stabilize UXO.

High hazard remediation is a WESTON core business initiative. The company provides technical and management expertise for the identification, avoidance, and removal of UXO, chemical warfare materials (CWM) and other toxic contamination for the federal government and private industry.

The company's outstanding safety record in performing this work has been acknowledged by numerous safety awards. At the Alabama Army Ammunition Plant where WESTON treated high-explosive residues, the company received the Army Corps of Engineers' Sustained Superior Safety Award for 3 consecutive years.
