\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each year, NIA honors a select group of members with its Safety Excellence Award, which is the only national award for outstanding safety performance in the mechanical insulation industry. To recognize top companies that have established structured safety programs to ensure the well-being of their employees and create safe working environments, NIA created this award more than a decade ago. These companies\u2019 safety programs go above and beyond, which not only helps ensure worker safety, but also keeps project operations moving forward with safety at the forefront.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, in the current collective COVID-19 environment, the importance of a strong and well communicated safety program is more important than ever,\u201d said NIA’s Executive Vice President\/CEO Michele M. Jones. \u201cEach year, we honor our member companies that make safety a priority every day and seek to make continuous improvements to their programs. As we examined their 2019 safety programs, we are very proud to recognize 28 Platinum winners and 2 first-time applicants receiving Silver and Gold in this year\u2019s competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the judging process, applicant companies remain anonymous, and 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 recommendations for continued safety advances based on each applicant\u2019s answers to the application questions.<\/p>\n

NIA members in the Associates (Manufacturers), Contractors, Distributors\/Fabricators, and Metal Building Laminators membership categories must acquire points to achieve Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum status. The award winners were announced in May, and NIA looks forward to a ceremony honoring their achievements in the presence of their peers at NIA\u2019s 2020 Fall Summit, November 4\u00ad\u20135, 2020, at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland.<\/p>\n
