All 2010 Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) Platinum recipients are eligible to apply.
The National Safety Excellence Awards will be presented during the 21st annual Excellence in Construction Awards program, to be held Feb. 22, 2011 at ABC’s premier event, BizCon, at the Waldorf-Astoria in Orlando, Fla.
