Colorado honored nearly two dozen member companies for their safety programs at the AGC/C Safety Awards Luncheon in late May.
The AGC Construction Safety and Excellence Awards (CSEA) recognizes companies for safety excellence and loss-prevention programs achieved through management commitment, employee involvement and program innovation.
Two AGC/C firms, GH Phipps and Metropolitan Glass, received national awards for winning in each of their categories for the CSEAs. The national CSEA competition was held at the AGC National Convention the first week of March and the winners were announced during an AGC of America awards breakfast.
The National AGC Safety Awards (NASA) evaluates a firm’s safety record against other firms of similar size and construction type across the country and recognizes those with excellent safety records. AGC provides certificates of commendation to members who have participated in the awards program for three consecutive years and who have achieved a zero-lost workday incident rate for one category or an incident rate below 25% of their division rate for the second category of awards.
AGC/C-member NASA winners recognized for achieving a zero-lost workday incident rate or 25% below division lost workday incidence rate for 2012 included: Centerre Construction, Fransen Pitman General Contractors, GH Phipps, Golden Triangle Construction, Haselden Construction, Hensel Phelps Construction, Howell Construction, Hyder Construction, Kiewit Building Group, Saunders Construction, Starker Construction Co., Duro Electric, Encore Electric, Greiner Electric, Ludvik Electric, Metropolitan Glass, Restoration Specialists, RK Mechanical, Total Plumbing, Trautman & Shreve and U.S. Engineering Co.
