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 was reviewed for evidence of:
- Company management commitment
- Active employee participation
- Safety training
- Work site hazard identification and control
- Safety program innovation
- Etc.
Participants were required to complete an application form and submit it directly to AGC of America. Then, members of the national AGC Safety & Health Committee reviewed and judged the submittals at the Construction Safety & Health Conference. The finalists in each divisional category were then invited to compete in-person at the AGC Annual Convention for either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place award. Finalists gave an oral presentation in front of five judges. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards were determined after oral presentations. Hensel Phelps, the grand award winner, was selected from among the 1st place winners. The winners were then announced at the Safety Awards Ceremony during the AGC National Convention.
“
This is the third time receiving an AGC safety award over the past several years and we are proud of our team to take home a first place award this year. Safety is the top priority of our company and we are honored to be recognized amongst so many great firms across the country to share best safety practices.”
Jeremiah Daniels,
President, Daniels & Daniels Construction Co., Inc.
