Following much anticipation, commitment and hard work, the winners of the AGC/Willis Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) were unveiled at AGC’s 94th Annual Convention last week in Palm Springs, Calif. Sixty-five construction firms advanced to this final selection round from the initial judging that took place in January.
At the safety awards breakfast, Paul Becker, chairman construction practice, Willis, applauded the level of passion, commitment and sharing that is demonstrated by applicants and judges in this competition, encouraging others to participate and, by doing so, improving their safety program.
Improvement is indeed a beneficial side effect of the CSEA program as noted by participants and judges alike. Even by filling out the initial application, a company has already done something good for its program, according to one participant.
The 65 finalists presented before a panel of five judges, who reviewed each safety program for employee and management involvement, new and innovative programs, procedures and resources used to promote safety. Once first, second and third place winners were determined, each category first-place winners were judged to determine the "Best of the Best,” or the grand award winner. Opp Construction of Grand Forks, N.D. won that recognition in the category of Municipal & Utility, 100-001 - 300,000 work hours.
AGC wishes to thank all the participating companies, the initial and final judges, and Willis. Together, they form the CSEA program, which betters the industry by improving companies’ safety programs and helping to keep construction employees safe.
