Skender has been recognized by the Great Lakes Construction Association (GLCA) with the Safety Achievement Award for the third year in a row and the fifth time since 2016. This prestigious award honors outstanding safety performance in 2024 for firms exceeding 500,000+ hours worked. At Skender, safety is a fundamental part of our lean, people-first approach to project delivery. Our certified safety team develops comprehensive, job-specific safety plans, integrating weekly site inspections, predictive analysis, proactive reporting and seamless coordination with all stakeholders to ensure the highest safety standards. "Our teams don't just follow safety procedures--they take ownership of them,” said Dan Torres, Safety Director for Skender. “By fostering a culture where everyone--from trade partners to field staff to corporate office--is empowered to prioritize safety and quality, we create productive jobsites where people can do their best work and return home safely every day." This latest honor marks Skender's ninth industry-recognized safety award since 2013. A key indicator of safety performance is the experience modification rate (EMR), which assesses past injuries and future risk. Skender's EMR stands at 50% better than the national industry average, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in construction safety.
