MBMA Announces Annual Safety Award Winners For 2019

Cleveland, OH - The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) annually honors member companies that demonstrate exceptional performance in maintaining workplace safety. These awards are given to Building Systems members as well as Associate members for their performance during the previous calendar year. Safety awards for the 2019 year were presented during the 2020 MBMA Annual Meeting, held virtually, December 8-9, 2020.

“MBMA is committed to promoting workplace safety and these awards recognize those facilities that set an example for all of us,” said Tony Bouquot, general manager of MBMA. “In 2019, our Building Systems members had 41 plant facilities that participated in MBMA’s Quarterly OSHA Injury Statistics Program, logging over 11.7 million hours on the job. Our Associate member awards program extends the focus on safety across the industry to our suppliers’ facilities as well.”

MBMA is an advocate for robust safety programs and its members are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of everyone who works in the metal building systems industry. “Our members are deeply focusing on making sure the metal building industry is a very healthy and safe place to build a career,” Bouquot continued. “Effective safety initiatives have broad benefits that include boosting employee morale, improving operations, and mitigating insurance risks and exposure to OSHA audits.”

The 2019 Superior Safety Award was given to the five plants that achieved zero recordable cases for the 12-month period, which is a significant accomplishment. The seven recipients of the 2019 Safety Performance Award achieved an incident rate of 1.40 or lower.
