SAFETY<br />
Kevin P. Welker, KIEWIT BUILDING GROUP.<br />
Safety is job one at Kiewit, and acknowledgement of our safety program assures<br />
our clients that every employee will go home safely at the end of every work day.<br />
Our employees take personal pride in our excellent safety record and appreciate the<br />
recognition of our peers at AGC. <strong>The</strong> three aspects of attitude, family responsibility<br />
and good work plans is the road map we use to this safety success.<br />
Richard Podobnik, INTERIOR ALASKA ROOFING INC.<br />
Regardless of a company’s size, employee, job site and customer safety should<br />
always be the number one priority in our industry. Creating and implementing a<br />
quality safety program takes a lot of time, effort, and money which is returned many<br />
times over. Winning the Marsh 2006 Excellence Award for <strong>Contractor</strong>s Safety Program<br />
and being recognized by our industry was a great honor.<br />
Brad West, WEST CONSTRUCTION<br />
Receiving the AGC Safety Award was no accident. Pun on words aside, receiving<br />
this award was actually the result of each and every West Construction employee<br />
diligently making safety in our workplace priority number one on a daily basis. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is no award taken in such high regard by us than one that rewards the safety of our<br />
employees.<br />
Thomas Ulrich, Vice President, AMERICAN MARINE CORPORATION<br />
When competing in a competitive bid process and work is awarded to the<br />
lowest bidder, many times safety is one of the areas that is compromised in order<br />
to win projects. It’s gratifying to be recognized by the AGC and my peers for safety<br />
achievements – It shows my clients and competitors that we can get the job done on<br />
time, within budget and while still maintaining the highest safety standards.<br />
