AISC names 2020 Safety Award winners

The American Institute of Steel Construction, Chicago, has announced the winners of its Safety Awards, based on their outstanding safety records in 2020. Most of this year's winners have earned the top award, the Safety Award of Honor, which is presented for a perfect record of no disabling injuries.

To facilitate data collection and make statistics meaningful in terms familiar to safety professionals, the awards program uses data that companies also report to OSHA as measured in terms of Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART). The DART measures the number of recordable lost-work cases per 200,000 labor 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—DARTs less than or equal to one—earn a Safety Award of Merit. Safety Commendations recognize companies with DARTs greater than one and less than or equal to two..
