Applications for AGC's Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) Are Now Open

2023 Nominations Deadline: December 15, 2022

 
The purpose of the CSEA is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance. The CSEA closely examines each candidate's commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control. Unlike other safety award programs that limit the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA selection process is considerably more comprehensive.

Each application will be reviewed for evidence of:

• Company management commitment
• Active employee participation
• Safety training
• Worksite hazard identification and control
• Safety program innovation

The 2023 Construction Safety Excellence Awards competition is now open and available through the AGC of America Website. You are not required to apply through the AGC Houston chapter. Click here to access the application; you will be directed to Formsite, the application platform. Applicants must create an account to view/complete the application. You will also see an option to download a PDF of the application.

If you have any questions about the application process, please contact Nazia Shah at nazia.shah@agc.org or (703) 837-5409.
