WASHINGTON, D.C. — Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announced that Hendrick Construction, Inc., Charlotte, N.C., maintained a safety record that has earned the company recognition in the General Contractor category of ABC's National Safety Excellence Awards. Hendrick Construction's representatives received the award June 24 during the 19th annual Excellence in Construction awards celebration at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C.
“ABC is proud to congratulate Hendrick Construction for its success in maintaining the highest level of construction workplace safety in 2008,” said Kirk Pickerel, ABC president and CEO. “Hendrick Construction has truly demonstrated its dedication to ensuring a safe environment for all employees and it is an honor to recognize that achievement with our National Safety Excellence Award.”
The 2008 National Safety Excellence Award winners were selected from ABC member firms that achieved Platinum status in ABC’s Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) program. During the selection process, national safety winners were judged on self-evaluation scores, lost workday case rates, total recordable rates, and interviews conducted by members of ABC's National Environment, Health & Safety Committee.
The National Safety Excellence Awards are presented in three major North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code categories: NAICS 236 — Construction of Buildings; NAICS 237 — Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction; and NAICS 238 — Specialty Trade Contractors.
