Skender Wins Top Safety Award for Second Consecutive Year

The Great Lakes Construction Association (GLCA) awarded Skender the Safety Achievement Award for the second consecutive year, and the fourth time since 2016. The award recognizes outstanding safety achievements during 2023 in the category of 500,000+ worked.

Skender’s blended approach of safety, production and quality is part of its lean, human-centric project delivery. Our certified safety team develops comprehensive, job-specific safety plans, which consist of weekly project inspections, meticulous planning, predictive analysis, reporting systems and diligent coordination and communication with all stakeholders.

“Safety on our jobsites is paramount to our teams at Skender,” said Dan Torres, Safety Director for Skender. “From our trade partners to our field staff, we empower our people to focus on what matters: Producing quality work, keeping themselves and their teams safe, and getting home to their loved ones.”

With this honor, Skender has earned eight construction industry safety awards since 2013. Another measure of safety in the construction industry is the experience modification rate (EMR), which the National Council of Compensation Insurance uses to calculate the past cost of injuries and future chance of risk. Skender’s EMR is 43 percent better than the national industry average.
