Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA)

The purpose of the CSEA is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance.

  • Company management commitment
  • Active employee participation
  • Safety training
  • Worksite hazard identification and control
  • Safety program innovation

Applications are available in mid to late October.

National AGC Safety Awards (NASA)

Recognizing AGC contractor members for safety excellence since 1926, the National AGC Safety Awards (NASA) program has been an ongoing effort to offer AGC members an opportunity to evaluate their safety record. NASA compares a member’s safety record with other AGC members according to the member size and construction type. Additionally, NASA provides a great opportunity for contractor members to compete for nationally recognized awards that have excellent safety records.
