Scottsdale, Arizona—April 30, 2025—The National Insulation Association (NIA) announced the 2024 Safety Excellence Award winners in conjunction with its 69th Annual Convention, which is taking place in Scottsdale, Arizona, April 28–30, 2025.
NIA’s Safety Excellence Award is the only national award for outstanding safety performance in the mechanical insulation industry. The award program recognizes top companies that have established structured safety programs to ensure the well-being of their employees and create safe working environments.
NIA’s Safety Excellence Award program honors four levels of excellence: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze for Associates (Manufacturers), Contractors, Distributors/Fabricators, and Metal Building Laminators.
NIA’s Executive Vice President/CEO Michele M. Jones said, “Congratulations to these 45 companies that make safety a top priority every day and strive to improve their safety program each year. Of our 45 total winners, we are so proud to have 29 Platinum winners, 12 Gold winners, 3 Silver winners, and 1 Bronze winner. Year after year, these dedicated organizations make a commitment to a culture of safety and continuous improvement. We are excited to welcome six first-time applicants to this year’s program. Thank you all for your ongoing commitment to keeping your teams safe.”
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’s answers to the application questions.
