The purpose of the CSEA is to recognize construction companies who excel at safety performance. The CSEA closely examines each candidate's commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control. Unlike other safety award programs that limit the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA selection process is considerably more comprehensive. Each application is reviewed for evidence of:

Company management commitment
Active employee participation
Safety training
Work site hazard identification and control
Safety program innovation

Nick Grosso, Area Safety Manager for Hensel Phelps, noted "Hensel Phelps is proud to receive this award. On each project, our philosophy is that all injuries can be prevented. Through the collaborative efforts of our project teams and trade partners, the workforce can rest assured they are working on a safe jobsite. Having a safe jobsite is more than processes and protocols; it is about establishing a culture of safety and a culture of care through conversations and aligned expectations."

"Congratulations to our Carolinas AGC Members who received these major AGC of America Safety Honors at a time when safety is the paramount issue in the construction industry in the Carolinas and everywhere," commented CAGC President and CEO Dave Simpson.
