Northdale Contractor Wins National Construction Safety Excellence Award

The PCL family of companies - which has a location in Northdale - has received the 2012 Association of General Contractors’ (AGC) Grand Award for Construction Safety Excellence. The announcement honoring the business at 3810 Northdale Boulevard was made at the AGC national convention last month in Hawaii.

“Our safety vision has become a core value that was created with craft worker input and adopted by all of our business units,” said Robert Saiz, PCL director of health, safety, and environment. “We are honored to receive the highest recognition granted by the AGC.”

The Construction Safety Excellence Award (CSEA) recognizes construction companies that excel at safety and health performance. The CSEA examines each candidate’s commitment to safety and to its safety culture. Sponsored by Willis, the world’s leading Construction Insurance and Surety Broker, the CSEA is the industry’s elite safety excellence awards program for construction companies of all sizes and occupational divisions.

The extensive CSEA selection process is a comprehensive review where judges look for evidence of company management commitment, active employee participation, safety training, worksite hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.

PCL has been among the top three CSEA finalists for the past four years.
