Transportation construction companies from three states were recognized Sept. 23 for their outstanding employee safety programs during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association's (ARTBA) national convention in Amelia Island, Fla.

The annual ARTBA "Contractor Safety Awards" promote worker safety and health as core values of the transportation design and construction industry. Granite Construction was named safety program "Grand Champion." The judges were impressed with Granite's empowerment of their workers to enhance safety on every work site, as well as its communicating safety concerns and solutions to its employees.

Companies were competitively selected based on their accident and injury rates on worksites as reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); their Experience Modification Rates (EMRs) as determined by their insurance carriers; and their safety programs. Finalists from three categories based on personnel hours worked in the previous year were invited to present before a panel of industry judges.

Selection criteria also included demonstration of key principles of safety excellence including management commitment, employee participation, incident investigation, auditing, planning and risk assessment.

The awards were presented as follows:

Less than 500,000 personnel hours: Perry Engineering, Winchester, Va.
500,000 to 1 million: Texas Sterling, Houston, Texas
Over 1 million: Granite Construction, Watsonville, Calif.
