The Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) announced the 2016 Safety Achievement Award recipients at CFA Convention 2016 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on Saturday, July 23, 2016.
The Safety Achievement Awards program seeks to recognize the commitment to safety and risk management among the hundreds of professional cast-in-place contractors found in CFA membership. “Safety remains a top priority in our industry,” says Jim Baty, executive director of the CFA. “This program challenges contractors to demonstrate leadership by documenting their job-site and company-wide safety efforts. Recognizing safety achievements plays a vital role as the industry strives to demonstrate and promote the importance of job-site safety.”
