Safety & Health

Taylor Northwest has focused on building a high level of safety culture since its inception in 2008. We have built the foundation of this safety culture by adhering to these four Core Values: Attitude (above all), Safety, Service, and Quality.

We have identified that without approaching each task with the right Attitude, none of the other core values can be achieved. By adhering to our core values we have been able to achieve the following Award recognitions:

Construction Safety Excellence Award (CSEA)

The purpose of the AGC of America CSEA (Construction Safety Excellence Award) is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance. The CSEA closely examines each candidate’s commitment to safety and occupational health management and risk control. Unlike other safety award programs that limit the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA selection process is considerably more comprehensive. Each application is reviewed for evidence of:

Company management commitment
Active employee participation
Safety training
Work site hazard identification and control
Safety program innovation

Participants are required to complete the application form and submit it directly to AGC of America or through their local AGC Chapter. Members of the national AGC Safety & Health Committee review and judge the submittals at the Construction Safety & Health Conference, held in January each year. The finalists in each divisional category are then invited to compete in-person at the AGC National Convention for either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place award. Finalists give an oral presentation in front of five judges. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards are determined after oral presentations. The winners are announced at the Safety Awards Ceremony during the AGC National Convention.
