In this safety-themed issue, we\u2019re highlighting some of NIA\u2019s member companies who have been awarded NIA\u2019s Theodore H. Brodie Distinguished Safety Award. These companies have gone above and beyond to improve their safety programs, helping to ensure safe working environments and smooth project operations.<\/p>\n

NIA\u2019s Safety Award is the only national award for outstanding safety performance in the mechanical insulation industry. NIA created the award program more than a decade ago to recognize top companies that have established structured safety programs to ensure the well-being of their employees and create safe working environments. NIA\u2019s Safety Award program honors 4 levels of excellence: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze for Manufacturers (Associates), Contractors, Distributors\/Fabricators, and Metal Building Laminators.<\/p>\n

NIA's Executive Vice President\/CEO Michele M. Jones said, \u201cWe are pleased to honor our member companies that not only make safety a priority every day, but also seek to make continuous improvements to their safety programs. We are very proud to have 29 Platinum winners and 4 first-time applicants in this year\u2019s competition. Congratulations to all of this year\u2019s winners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the judging process, applicant companies remain anonymous and winners are evaluated on the basis of their overall safety program, means of communication, and safety policy. All applicant companies receive an individualized and detailed Safety Training Analysis Results (STAR) Report. The STAR Report includes personalized safety improvement recommendations based on each applicant\u2019s answers to the application questions.<\/p>\n

Beginning this year and going forward, NIA has streamlined the Safety Award judging process to make the customized STAR Reports available to winners in conjunction with the award announcement. Applications for the 2019 Safety Award are now available on NIA\u2019s website (www.insulation.org\/membership\/safety-award\/) and are due on September 3, 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
