In the media: NWIBRT Honors the Best in Regional Construction Safety

CROWN POINT –

Northwest Indiana construction companies routinely smash national industry averages for safety, in no small part because of their commitment to learn and find new ways to improve. At a recent awards banquet held by the Northwest Indiana Business RoundTable (NWIBRT), the best-performing firms in safety were honored for their outstanding performance records in keeping people safe on the job.

“One of the things that’s often overlooked about NWI construction is how much work companies do regarding safety. It’s a task that never stops. Not even for a moment. Companies here in our region make a dedicated effort to refine their safety practices across some of the most challenging projects. That’s why NWIBRT is proud to honor these companies. They adhere to a standard well above what’s expected, and that elevates our entire regional construction profile,” said NWIBRT Safety Committee Chair and Cargill Health & Safety Manager Rick A. Foor.

Awards given during the banquet were given for work performed during 2021, which included some of the region’s largest and most important construction projects. About 50 companies were recognized, representing a mix of contractors, subcontractors, and owners.
