Charah® Solutions, Inc. was selected as the 2022 First Place Construction Safety Excellence Award winner for exceptional leadership in safety as part of the Annual Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Construction Safety Excellence Awards.
Charah Solutions competed in the Specialty Division’s 1.0 Million to 1.5 Million Work Hour category. This marks the fifth consecutive year in which Charah Solutions has received the AGC Construction Safety Excellence Award and the company’s sixth time overall.
The purpose of the AGC Construction Safety Excellent Awards (CSEA) is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance. The CSEA closely examines each candidate’s commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control. Unlike other safety award programs that limit the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA selection process is considerably more comprehensive. Each application is reviewed for evidence of company management commitment, active employee participation, safety training, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.
As part of this comprehensive selection process, applications are first reviewed by members of the national AGC Safety & Health Committee during the Construction Safety & Health Conference, held in January each year. Finalists in each divisional category then compete at the AGC National Convention where they must give an oral presentation in front of a panel of five independent safety professionals within the government, corporate, and insurance industries.
Charah Solutions is an industry-leader in safety excellence with a 2021 total recordable incident rate (TRIR) of 0.32 with no lost time injuries and an impressive three-year average experience modification rate (EMR) of less than 0.62.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award from the AGC in recognition of our team’s uncompromising commitment every single day to keep our workplaces and employees safe,” said Scott Sewell, president and CEO of Charah Solutions.
“At Charah Solutions, Safety is a core value and integral to our culture,” added Sewell.
“Willis Towers Watson (WTW) is proud to be an AGC partner in safety and honored to be the long-term sponsor for AGC’s Construction Safety Excellence Awards, a partnership that began over thirty years ago,” said Mike Fredebeil, CSP, Construction Risk Control Leader – North America, WTW.
“The CSEA program is all about looking at yourself and continuous improvement,” added Fredebeil.
