91视频

The 91视频 Hard Hat Safety Awards began in 2019 on the simple idea that safety is the most important part of your business. It鈥檚 a mantra I鈥檓 well aware of as a third-generation member of the building industry. I can still here my grandpa telling me the importance of a life jacket in our canoe as he reminds me again that he fell off the Astoria-Megler Bridge while building it. It鈥檚 the reason we still call my dad, now retired for over a decade, the 鈥渟afety tyrant鈥� as he cuts up pool noodles to secure hard corners in our house for the grandkids.

The 91视频 understands that construction is dangerous, and while prevention is always the aim, it鈥檚 not always the result.

This awards program isn鈥檛 about companies with the best safety record. It鈥檚 about telling the compelling stories of how individuals changed a safety culture or a contractor saved a life due to their safety plan, or about how an entire project team risked their lives to keep our communities safe. Our hope is these profiles provide you and your company some actionable inspiration and information to bring back and institute into your safety plans.
As you鈥檒l soon learn, this is a great group of honorees. While the pandemic is no doubt a theme in many of these stories, there are several that don鈥檛 even mention it because safety is what you do every day. These stories are about preparedness, decisiveness, integrity, commitment and sincerity. If you walk away with one thing, let it be that good safety cultures are created by good people.
Let鈥檚 raise a toast to this class of honorees.
