• 0 to 50,000 manhours
• 50,001 to 100,000 manhours
• 100,001 to 150,000 manhours
• over 150,001 manhours

The additional information requested  will come from your OSHA 300A Form, which you’ll need to complete whether you enter the award competition ot not since the OSHA form must be posted in your workplace(s) from February through the end of April.

NECA Safety Excellence Award winners are selected based on a comparison of safety data for their companies with pertinent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for their industry. All award recipients are well below the industry averages for lost-work incidents and total recordable incident rates.
