AISC Names 2020 Safety Award Winners : The American Institute of Steel Construction is pleased to recognize more than 135 steel fabricators and erectors for their outstanding safety records in 2020.
Most of this year’s winners have earned the Institute’s top safety award, the Safety Award of Honor, which is presented for a perfect record of no disabling injuries (DART=0–see below for more info about DART data).
“2020 really underscored the importance of safety. These awards are a powerful reminder of what truly makes our industry great: the people,” said Patrick Schueck, president and CEO of Lexicon, Inc., and chair of AISC’s Safety Committee. “AISC is proud to honor the companies that go the extra mile to keep their employees safe every day.”
In order to facilitate data collection and make statistics meaningful in terms familiar to safety professionals, AISC’s Safety Awards program uses data that companies also report to OSHA as measured in terms of Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) rate. The DART measures the number of recordable lost work cases per 200,000 man hours worked. AISC bases the awards on cases (not days) as reported to OSHA on the 300A form, along with the hours worked in the year.
Those with excellent records (0<DART≤1) earn a Safety Award of Merit and Safety Commendations recognize companies with DARTs greater than one and less than or equal to two.
The awards program is open to all AISC member fabricators and erectors, and applications for the program are solicited annually. Awards are issued separately for fabrication and erection companies. In order to be eligible to win an award, the member company must submit a copy of their OSHA 300A form for verification purposes.
