LANSING, MI Thirty-one Michigan-based construction industry leaders including Granger Construction and The Christman Company in Lansing, Michigan, Walbridge in Detroit, Michigan, and Miller-Davis Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan, were acknowledged by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America with the National AGC Safety Awards (NASA), an ongoing effort to use peer safety records to assess performance.

"We are tremendously proud of our members who continue to be national leaders when it comes to workplace safety," said Damian P. Hill, President of AGC of Michigan. "Recognition from the National AGC of America Safety Awards demonstrates that Michigan has some of the safest commercial contractors in the country, and we look forward to continuing to provide programming to make our safety track record even better."

Participating contractors received a confidential printout to compare their company's safety statistics with similar size and type AGC contractor members both locally and nationally. NASA provides the opportunity for contractor members with excellent safety records to compete for nationally recognized awards. Additionally, the information can be used to assist in determining if additional accident prevention and loss-control measures are necessary. 

The NASA are based on the total lost workday case incident rates, excluding restricted work days. Michigan NASA winners are listed below.
