Pinkard Earns ABC National Safety Excellence Award
Pinkard Construction Co., Lakewood, maintained a safety record that earned the company recognition in the general contractor category of ABC’s National Safety Excellence Awards. Pinkard representatives received the award Feb. 22 during the 22nd annual Excellence in Construction awards celebration at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.
Two key safety statistics played a role in Pinkard’s earning the award: a current, and ongoing 1.25 million man-hours worked without a lost-time accident and a steadily improving OSHA recordable incident rate, which culminated in a 1.2 rate in 2010. The national average rate is approximately 5.5.
