The Associated General Contractors of America and Willis Announces The 15th Annual Construction Safety Excellence Awards

Fisher Phillips supports the efforts of associations to recognize employers who put their money where their mouth is, and demonstrate superior safety processes. We are especially excited about the October 28 - 30 celebration of EHS America's safest Companies.

We also want to alert interested contractors in the annual AGC/Willis competition. I have watched the selection committee meet for hours and I can assure you that selection involves far more than presenting good injury and illness numbers.

Background:
The Annual Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) program sponsored by Willis has been an ongoing and evolving effort by AGC of America to recognize companies who have developed and implemented excellent safety and loss prevention programs achieved through management committee, employee training and participation, and program innovation.
