Safety Policy
A company that experiences a safety-related fatality of a direct employee in the United States within the current program year (Oct. 16, 2021-Oct. 15, 2022) is NOT eligible for an Excellence in Construction Award. If a subsidiary is a direct ABC member versus part of a larger holding company member, then the subsidiary with a safety-related fatality is not eligible, but another subsidiary of the same holding company may be.
No project that involves prime, multi-prime or sub-trade contractors with a safety-related fatality is eligible to be considered for an award.
If there is a question regarding this policy and application requirement, the applicant may request clarification from the National EIC Committee by emailing eic@abc.org prior to submission of the project.
All entries must be received by ABC Massachusetts Chapter no later than September 5, 2023. Applications are not officially entered into the Excellence in Construction Awards until full payment of the $325 entry fee is received by ABC Massachusetts.
