The award, presented by the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, recognizes contractors working a minimum of 20,000 hours per calendar year that achieved a total recordable incidence rate of 0.6 or less with no workplace fatality during 2014.
“You all strive to put safety first and it shows!
