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.<\/p>\n

NIA’s Executive Vice President\/CEO Michele M. Jones said, \u201cIn a year like no other, we are extremely proud to have a new record of 33 Platinum winners and to welcome 1 new first-time applicant. Each year, we honor our member companies that prioritize safety and make continuous improvements to their programs, and this year, we do so knowing that a strong and well-communicated safety program is more important than ever.\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 recommendations based on each applicant\u2019s answers to the application questions.<\/p>\n
