Hensel Phelps Construction Wins AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards Grand Prize as 66 Other Companies Win Awards for Quality Construction Safety & Health Programs
Hensel Phelps was recognized for having the nation’s top construction safety and health program in 2024 by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). The association, which oversees the Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA), an annual ranking of construction safety and health programs, noted that 66 other companies were also selected as winners for their commitment to occupational safety and health management and risk control.
“Through these awards, we are seeking to identify the most effective tactics companies are using to address and improve construction safety and health,” said Todd Roberts, the association’s senior vice president and president of ERS Inc. in Jackson, Mississippi. “By finding and honoring these safety and health solutions, we hope to encourage other firms to explore and adopt them as appropriate.”
Hensel Phelps was judged and selected as the grand award winner from among 23 first-place winners across six occupational divisions. Roberts noted that there are multiple winners because the awards are distributed for several divisions and categories, based on the amount and type of work performed. He added that the CSEA winners are selected by a panel of five independent safety and health professionals within the construction industry. Finals judging for the awards program took place during the contractors’ association’s annual convention in Columbus, Ohio.
“WTW and Starr are proud to continue as the sponsors of the AGC CSEA. It is important that we recognize those who go above and beyond to put their employees’ safety and wellbeing first. Hensel Phelps, and all the companies recognized this year are leaders in their respective fields as well as the communities in which they work,” said Matt Curtis, Vice President – Profit Center Manager – Primary, Construction, Starr Companies.
Starr Companies and WTW are the sponsors of the Construction Safety Excellence Awards.
