NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2023: The Wesson Group was recently recognized as the recipient of the esteemed Safety Excellence Award presented by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of New York State. This award is a testament to our team's commitment to fostering a safety-focused culture within the state's construction industry.
Assessed by an independent panel of safety professionals, the AGC NYS Safety Excellence Award celebrates organizations that champion and exemplify excellence in safety practices. The award acknowledges and honors companies demonstrating exceptional dedication to safety and rigorous risk control programs.
With over four decades of experience in safety management across hundreds of job sites, The Wesson Group's leadership team furthers a safety culture that is second to none. The company's commitment to safety is evident in its performance across critical safety criteria, including EMR (Experience Modification Rate), training initiatives, proactive enforcement of safety protocols among team members and partners, incident rates, OSHA compliance history, company-wide participation in safety measures, and the implementation of innovative safety practices.
Key safety statistics from The Wesson Group include an EMR of .80, an impressive 815,046 hours and counting worked without a lost time injury, and an astounding 2,659 days and counting without lost time incidents. A notable aspect of our safety commitment is every employee has the ability to stop work at any time and we stand behind every team member 100% of the time.
"We are honored to be recognized as an industry leader in Safety Excellence," remarked Kevin Butler, Director of Safety, Environmental, and Quality for The Wesson Group. "Our investment of time and energy into the creation and maintenance of rigorous safety practices is a fundamental part of who we are."
Skip Parry, The Wesson Group’s Construction Risk Manager, added, "Safety is not merely a standard for us – it's a profound reflection of our commitment to excellence and an integral facet of our way of life. It is the primary pillar of our core belief."
