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