2017 GBRIA Safety Excellence Awards

I. Purpose of the GBRIA Safety Excellence Awards Program

The Safety Excellence Awards recognize commendable safety performance of industrial
contractor firms and GBRIA member industrial facilities. The awards are intended to convey a strong support by GBRIA members
of contractor and plant safety performance, recognizing that contractors have the primary responsibility for execution of on-site safety while working together with plants and construction project owners to ensure a safe workplace.
II. Criteria for Nomination Evaluation

The GBRIA Safety Award Selection Committee (participation on the committee is open to all GBRIA industry members, i.e. plants/facilities) will only consider contractors/plants as eligible based on a complete nomination, which includes:

a) Completed Nomination form and nomination letter by the plant site. Missing information will disqualify the nomination.

b) A GBRIA/HBR (Houston Business Roundtable) Evaluation of Contractor Safety, Health and Security Performance. Please note that any audits conducted prior to January of 2014 will not be accepted. Please remember that if an audit needs to be conducted it must be completed before you can submit this form! The audit must be completed by a GBRIA or HBR (Houston Business Roundtable) approved independent auditor.

c) Receipt of the Nomination Letter from the plant site, and audit, and this form/application by GBRIA by February 3, 2017.
