Woburn, MA – The Gould Construction Institute (GCI) celebrated this year’s Safety, Training, and Evaluation Process (STEP). Award recipients at the 11th Annual GCI Safety & Education Dinner held at the Montvale Plaza in Stoneham.
For GCI, the STEP Awards are the premier event of the year. “A contractor’s most valuable resource is its workers. There is nothing more important than jobsite safety,” commented Barbara Lagergren, president of the Gould Construction Institute. “Tonight’s award recipients deserve each and every accolade they received by continuing to raise the standards of safety, training, and education throughout the construction industry.”
The STEP Awards are presented annually to ABC member companies with exceptional safety records, and this year’s applicant pool was fiercely competitive. Applicants are critiqued on a number of statistical factors such as incident rates, lost time, and OSHA recordables combined with a safety audit consisting of 20 key components.
This year, 56 ABC MA member companies were recognized for their commitment to ensuring a safe work environment for their workforce.
