Global construction and facilities-related services firm, Gilbane Building Company, was recently honored with a Platinum Safety Award in Building Construction for overall safety performance over the past three years from the Connecticut Construction Industries Association (CCIA). This is the highest safety honor awarded by the CCIA.

The Platinum Level Safety award is bestowed to only a select few contractors each year. The award was presented to Gilbane at the CCIA's Annual Membership Meeting on Dec. 2, 2017 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, Conn.

“We are honored to once again receive this award from the Connecticut Construction Industries Association, noted Dennis Mullen, Gilbane's safety director of New England. “To be recognized for our commitment to safety is the highest compliment and further representation of Gilbane's dedication to the safety of our team members, trade contractors and the communities where we build.”

CCIA's safety committee established the Safety Recognition Awards to encourage safety in construction and recognize companies that maintain a formal safety and health program or related policies and procedures. In order to be recognized at the Platinum level, recipients must have met or exceeded national safety statistics.
