The Chicagoland AGC annually recognizes outstanding safety performance and innovative safety initiatives implemented by our members. Contractors compete with firms of similar size for Recognition Awards that are based on their incident rates. Excellence Awards are conferred to “best in class” for respective categories, with Improvement Awards recognizing strides in safety analytics from 2023 through 2024. We also acknowledge that incident rates don’t always tell the full picture of the proactive measures our members take to improve their safety processes, which is why we are proud to confer the Innovation in Safety Award. All awardees will be recognized at the annual Spring Summit luncheon in May.
