The National Insulation
Association (NIA) announced the 2011 Theodore H. Brodie Distinguished Safety
Award winners at NIA’s 57th Annual Convention. This year, because of the large
number of award recipients, we judged applicants in two categories: Contractors
and Distributors/ Fabricators.

The Brodie Safety
Award, first given in 2004, was created to honor top companies that are proactive
when it comes to implementing safe working practices. The judging focused on
each company’s safety program, method of communication and training, and safety
statement. Applicants/winners will receive feedback from the judges on how to
improve their safety program. Several of this year’s winners also applied in
2010 and have implemented the 2010 feedback they received from the judges to
improve their 2011 safety programs.

NIA recognizes
safety as a vital part of the mechanical insulation business. The Theodore H.
Brodie Distinguished Safety Award was named after Theodore H. Brodie, who
passed away in 2010, in recognition of his unceasing efforts to make safety a
priority of the industry. NIA would like to congratulate all the winners and
applaud their commitment to safety.
