Manhattan won the Pinnacle Award for its forward-looking safety program. This is the fifth time Manhattan has been honored with a National Safety Excellence Award (NSEA) and the third time to receive Pinnacle, the top honor.
“I am extraordinarily proud of Manhattan’s safety culture,” said Manhattan Construction Company President John Reyhan. “Our safety culture is inclusive at every level of our business, and the team continually looks for ways to improve our processes, tools, and performance. We share this honor with our trade partners, who join us in promoting safe workplaces for everyone on our job sites.”
The 2022 National Safety Excellence Award winners were selected from ABC member firms that achieved Diamond, Platinum, or Gold status in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System in 2022, reflective of their 2021 safety performance data. During the selection process, contractors were judged on self-evaluation scores, lost workday case rates, total recordable incident rates, leading indicator use, process and program innovations, and interviews conducted by members of ABC’s National Health and Safety Committee.
“World-class safety and total human health are essential pillars of the culture of ABC member companies — and those priorities are exemplified by these contractors,” said 2023 National Chair of the ABC Board of Directors Milton Graugnard, Executive Vice President, Cajun Industries LLC, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “Manhattan Construction Company prioritizes taking care of its employees, their greatest asset. Among the NSEA winners are several ABC Top Performers, leading contractor members ranked by work hours, demonstrating the positive impact of implementing strong safety programs.”

The National Safety Excellence Awards are presented in three major North American Industry Classification System code categories: NAICS 236 — Construction of Buildings; NAICS 237 — Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction; and NAICS 238 — Specialty Trade Contractors.
The STEP Safety Management System, the standard for developing safety management systems in construction, is designed to help both large and small contractors evaluate every aspect of their corporate safety and health programs and identify opportunities for improvement.
Manhattan is one of the largest privately-held construction companies in the country. Current operations extend through the Southwest and Eastern regions of the United States, with locations in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and throughout the Mid-Atlantic.
