July 2017
AGC MA held its annual Safety Breakfast, sponsored by 
AON Construction Services Group at the Boston College Club to honor 
48 members achieving excellence in safety.
 
Congratulations to all of the winners!
 
The National Safety Award recognizes firms that have developed and successfully implemented industry-leading safety standards across its portfolio of work. The award program incentivizes construction firms to evaluate and improve existing safety standards. In order to qualify for a Safety Award, an AGC-member firm must participate in the AGC Safety Awards Program for three consecutive years and have either zero lost-day incidence cases, or an average incidence case rate 25% below the average rate of all firms that participate in that particular division.
 
This year the Clifford E. Simmons Award was awarded to  Marc Truant & Associates for achieving the closest to-but not over - 100,000 of recorded hours with the Best Safety Record Under 100,000 Hours.
