    Top 40 Award: Positive Impact for On-the-Job Safety in Construction

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the past nine years Skanska USA Building Inc. has been awarding honors to its largest subcontractors with the goal of reducing construction-related falls. That’s putting their money where their mouth is.

    Through Skanska’s Top 40 competition they hope to “leverage the best leadership of the subcontractor organizations to eliminate all on-the-job falls…Skanska’s Top 40 subcontractors have successfully worked together to create ways to eliminate falls, lacerations and flexibility-related injuries.”

    I wish more companies thought big picture and displayed this kind of leadership. I’m thankful for the ones that do. What does your company do that makes a difference?
