APAI recognized 18 employees from six companies at is annual awards luncheon sponsored by Tobias Insurance Group.
“While most safety programs in the construction industry are company awards, the APAI Safe Worker awards instead focus on the individuals who lead the way by demonstrating their personal commitment to a safe highway construction project for the benefit of their colleagues, their customers and the traveling public,” says APAI Executive Director William Knopf.
Employers and winners include:
Brooks Construction
Greg Yoder, Kyle Dunn, Terry Fisher and Eric Felger
