Three Arizona-Based Firms Named Safest Construction Companies by the Associated General Contractors of America

Posted on April 17, 2009

San Diego, CA — March 6 — Tempe-based J. Banicki Construction, Inc.; Tempe-based PCL Construction Inc.; and Prescott Valley-based Asphalt Paving and Supply, Inc., were named today as some of the safest construction companies in America this year. The companies won the Construction Safety Excellence Award from the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), placing in the top three of their respective divisions. They were recognized for the strength of their safety programs and overall safety performance during 2008.

“There’s no better measure of the strength of a company than its ability to keep its workers safe and healthy,” said Doug Pruitt, incoming president of AGC. “These companies understand that safety is much more than a series of requirements, it is a way of operating that drives every decision on every project, every time.”

The Construction Safety Excellence Awards winners were announced during AGC’s 90th Annual Convention being held this week in San Diego, Calif. Award winners were selected by a panel of distinguished construction safety professionals from the public, private and not-for-profit sector. The awards were sponsored by WillisHRH, a construction insurance and surety broker. WillisHRH has proudly sponsored the safety awards breakfast to recognize AGC members and chapters for outstanding safety performance since 1986.
