"Now more than ever, there's no more fundamental responsibility for a construction firm than to ensure the health and safety of its workers," said Dirk Elsperman, the association’s President and Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of Tarlton Corporation. "These award recipients have implemented innovative and successful practices to safeguard job sites and protect workers."
Elsperman said JE Dunn was selected as a first place winner because of its exceptional leadership in safety. The company presented outstanding guidance in safety and occupational health management, risk control, safety training, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation, Elperman added.
Elsperman noted that there are multiple winners because the awards are distributed for a number of categories, based on the amount and type of work performed. He added that the AGC-Willis Towers Watson Construction Safety Excellence Award winners are selected by a panel of five independent safety professionals within the government, corporate, and insurance industries.
