Work-site safety is paramount to the successful completion of construction projects. Through participation in the
ABC National Safety Excellence and
Construction Users Roundtable's (CURT) Construction Industry Safety Excellence (CISE) Awards, ABC is able to recognize companies who strive to maintain outstanding safety programs, policies, and procedures.
The ABC National Safety Excellence and National Safety Merit Awards recognize companies whose safety performance and programs are judged to be exemplary by the ABC National Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) Committee and companies who exhibit a continued commitment to jobsite safety. Awards are based on data submitted via STEP Platinum applications and interviews with each companies' safety directors and owners. Award categories are based on a company's total work-hours per calendar year and placement within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). There are seven man-hour categories per each of the NAICS Construction codes - NAICS 236 ("Construction of Buildings"), NAICS 237 ("Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction") and NAICS 238 ("Specialty Trade Contractors").
The 2008 National Safety Excellence Awards will be presented June 24, 2009 during the 19th annual Excellence In Construction banquet at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC.
*Please note that the 2008 NSEA competition is open to 2007 and 2008 STEP Platinum recipients ONLY.
The Constructor Segment of the Construction Users Round Table (CURT) Construction Industry Safety Excellence (CISE) Awards program recognizes commendable safety performance of individual constructor firms. The awards are intended to convey CURT's strong support of constructor safety performance. Recipients of ABC's STEP Platinum award for 2008 and 2009 are encouraged to apply.
