On Thursday, December 1st, BBE was honored with a Platinum Safety Award in Building Construction for overall safety performance - the highest safety honor awarded by the Connecticut Construction Industries Association (CCIA). The award was presented at the CCIA’s Annual Meeting at the Aqua Turf Club.

​

The Platinum Level Safety award is annually bestowed to a select number of contractors. “We’re extremely honored to be recognized by the industry for our work and safety program. Safety is a hallmark of BBE, so we’re especially proud of this award,” said said Marko Kaar, BBE’s Director of Safety Operations, who believes that achieving an injury-free environment requires a commitment from every individual. “We take a total, philosophical approach to safety that includes consistent and detailed planning, training and analysis. Our success is founded on one key focus – everyone goes home whole.” 

​

The CCIA established the Safety Recognition Awards to encourage safety in construction and to recognize companies that maintain a formal safety and health program or related policies and procedures. In order to be recognized at the Platinum level, recipients must have met or exceeded national safety statistics.
