“Safety shapes the culture and everyday practices of each of our members,” said NSSGA president & CEO Michael Johnson. “Our members stay vigilant about training and ensure safety practices occur on every level. The 2023 Safety winners must be congratulated for continuing to keep safety as a core value.”

The Safety Excellence Awards recognise operations that maintain a safe workplace, evidenced by their safety performance over a consecutive period without an MSHA-reportable injury. The Louis Griesemer Sterling Safety Awards recognise NSSGA member companies with the lowest total accident incidence rate for the previous year in their size category.
