The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) recently announced the winners of two of its annual awards programs: Safety Excellence and Craft Training Awards.
Nine SEAA members received Safety Excellence Awards in three categories thanks to their excellent 2020 safety records. Recipients were selected based on evaluations of their experience modifier rate (EMR), OSHA 300A statistics, and safety program processes over the last three years. Scoring was based on points assigned to a multi-criteria analysis, conducted in a blind review by members of SEAA’s Safety and Education Committee. Here are the winners:
