For the second consecutive year, Sundt Construction, Inc. was awarded the Diamond Safety Award by the Associated General Contractors of Utah. The award, the highest safety award handed out annually by the AGC of Utah, evaluates comparable-sized contractors’ total man hours worked to the national average.
Sundt earned the Diamond Safety Award because it had more than 5 million worked man-hours at an incident rate of 50% below the national level. The company garnered the same recognition last year. In September, Sundt completed the Utah Department of Transportation Interstate 80 westbound highway improvement project in Tooele County six months ahead of schedule. The project improved traffic flow between State Road 201 and State Road 36 in western Salt Lake and eastern Tooele Counties.
Safety is at the core of Sundt’s culture. The company’s safety program takes a people-based approach to why it’s important to work safe. Beyond comprehensive safety training for its employees, Sundt emphasizes great safety choices to continually drive down its OSHA recordable incident rate and send all its employees home safe every day.
The company is the only contractor to be recognized twice as the AGC Grand Award winner for safety.
