The National Association of Women in Construction recognized Brasfield & Gorrie for its safety program and excellent record of workplace safety. “Safety is our top corporate value,” said Project Manager Virnetta Greene-Woodbury, who accepted the award this summer at the organization's 2013 Safety Excellence Awards ceremony in Bellevue, Wash.

NAWIC noted that employees of Brasfield & Gorrie are required to participate in continuous safety training programs and exercises, and the company regularly communicates messages about the importance of safe practices through internal emails, newsletters and poster campaigns.
