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.<\/span><\/h3>\n

“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.”<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
