The Winners Of The 2021 Safety Advantage Awards Presented By Federated Insurance

Words: Dan Kamys

Safety is overlooked by some contractors for several reasons: cost, time, resources, compounded focus on production, or simple ignorance. The goal of the MCAA Safety Advantage Awards is to help draw attention to the need and benefits of performing safely.

The MCAA Safety Advantage Awards will be presented based on a mason contractor’s incident rate. The incident rate is calculated by multiplying the number of injuries and illnesses from the OSHA Form 300 by 200,000, divided by the total number of hours worked by all employees for the year.

The winners of the MCAA's 2021 Safety Advantage Awards Presented By Federated Insurance are: 

Greater Than 100,000 Hours Worked
First Place (Tie):

  • Gates Construction Company, Mooresville, NC
  • Corner Stone Construction of Janesville, Inc., Janesville, WI

First Place (Tie):
