Safety as a Culture

Home Safe. Every Person. Every Shift.

It’s not just a catchy corporate slogan. It goes to the heart of who we are and what we do, and it all starts at the top. Management demands a safe work place and provides full support towards making sure that the culture of a safe work place permeates the work force.

The WTW/AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) program is the industry’s elite safety excellence awards program for companies of all sizes and occupational divisions. CSEA recognizes companies that have developed and implemented premier safety and loss prevention programs and showcases companies that have achieved continuous improvements and maintenance of their safety and health management systems.

The CSEA recognizes those construction companies that excel at safety and health performance, examining each candidate’s commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control.

“The purpose of the CSEA is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance. CSEA will closely examine each candidate’s commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control. Unlike the National AGC Safety Awards (NASA) program that limits the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA selection process is considerably more comprehensive. Judges will look for evidence of company management commitment, active employee participation, safety training, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.”

Thirty-seven firms were named the nation’s safest construction companies in 2014 by the Associated General Contractors of America.  AGC, which oversees the Willis Construction Safety Excellence Awards, an annual ranking of construction safety programs, selected the winners after dozens of firms made presentations about their safety programs during the Annual Convention.
The most important thing any construction firm can build is its safety culture,” said Al Landes, the association’s past president and president and COO of St. Joseph, Mo.-based Herzog Contracting Corp.  “Firms like this send a clear message to their industry peers that we can never take the health and safety of our workers for granted.” 
Ed Bell Construction Company of Dallas, TX, was selected as this year’s Third Place winner in the Highway and Transportation Division’s 300,000 – 700,000 Work Hour Category because of its exceptional leadership in safety.  The company presented outstanding guidance in safety and occupation health management, risk control, safety training, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation, Landes added.

 

Ed Bell also earned the 2014 National AGC Safety Award Certificate of Commendation for Zero Incidence Rate in the 50,000 Work Hours and Over Category in the Highway Division. EBCC personnel accepted this award June 3, 2015, in Austin, Texas.
