The National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA) announced the recipients of the Awards of Safety Excellence. The NSSGA Safety Excellence Awards recognize operations that maintain a safe workplace, evidenced by its safety performance over a consecutive period without an MSHA-reportable injury.
“There is nothing more important for aggregates operations than ensuring that each worker goes home safely at the end of each day,” said NSSGA President and CEO Michael W. Johnson. “NSSGA’s Safety Excellence Awards recognize the significant efforts our member companies take to ensure the safety of our most precious resource – our employees. Congratulations to these leaders in workplace safety.”
