It recognized 36 other companies around the country, naming W.B. Moore Co. of Charlotte, N.C., as the nation’s safest construction company.

“The most important thing any construction firm can build is its safety culture,” Al Landes, the association’s past president said in a statement. “Firms like this send a clear message to their industry peers that we can never take the health and safety of our workers for granted.”

There are multiple winners because the awards are distributed for a number of categories, based on company size, the amount of work performed and the type of work performed.
