130+ AISC MEMBERS RECEIVE SAFETY AWARDS


https://www.aisc.org/modernsteel/news/2023/february/130-aisc-members-receive-safety-awards/

AISC is pleased to honor more than 130 structural steel fabricators and erectors for their outstanding safety records in 2022.

“The dedicated people who work in fabrication shops and on jobsites across the country are what really sets domestically fabricated structural steel apart,” said AISC Senior Director of Engineering Tom Schlafly. “AISC is proud to recognize those who truly put safety first to protect our industry’s greatest asset: talented, passionate workers.”

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).

“A culture of workplace safety only works if everyone in the organization, from top to bottom, actively participates and commits to looking out for one another,” said AISC Safety Committee Chair John Schuepbach. “When leaders take ownership and make safety a top priority, it encourages employees at all levels of the company to do the same–and it’s a lot of work on everyone’s part. This year’s Safety Award recipients deserve a lot of credit for their dedication to safety in the field and in the shop.”

AISC relies on information that companies also report to OSHA to determine Safety Award recipients: their Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) rates. 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.

AISC presents a Safety Award of Honor to fabricators and erectors with perfect records (a DART of zero). 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.

AISC features Safety Award recipients online, in Modern Steel Construction, and at NASCC: The Steel Conference–which this year incorporates the first-ever SafetyCon. SafetyCon and the Steel Conference will take place in Charlotte, N.C., April 12 to 14.

The specialty conference’s 11 sessions focus on crucial topics like mental health and suicide prevention, OSHA’s lockout/tagout standard, how to prepare for and manage an OSHA inspection, and much more. To see all 11 sessions, search the session list for the safety track.
