The purpose of the award is to recognize masonry contractors who exemplify superior safety and loss prevention practices and have the lowest incident of recorded injuries and loss time accidents. This award will help promote the awareness of Safety in the NCMCA as well as provide the winning contractors with recognition by not only the NCMCA, but a tool to help promote their own safety culture within their organization as well as to General Contractors, Owners and Architects, etc.
Application will be available to all masonry contractor members of the NCMCA in January. Applicants must me a member of the NCMCA in order to be eligible. Completed applications will be reviewed and scored by John Cramer and Tom Hayes of TriSure, who will underwrite the cost of this annual award. Deadline for entries is March 15, 2014. The winners will be announced and presented at the annual NCMCA convention in April at The Homestead in Hot Springs.
