CFA Safety Awards

The Top Safety Awards program recognizes contractors in the industry committed to maintaining safe working environments on their job sites. This program serves to establish record of the commitment to safety and the practical influence that commitment has on the workplace injury rate.


The Board of Directors for the Concrete Foundations Association has created a Top Safety Awards program to recognize contractors in the industry committed to maintaining safe working environments on their job sites.

In 2011, OSHA rescinded the exemption from fall protection for residential construction, including that of residential foundation construction under the belief that significant safety violations and risks plagued the industry.

This program serves to establish record of the commitment to safety and the practical influence that commitment has on the workplace injury rate. The following awards are available to CFA members in each of the classifications:

Best Overall Safety Achievement Award: recognizes the firm with the lowest incident rate in 2014. Multiple companies with a zero Incident rate will result in the award given to the company with the highest number of annual work hours.

Most Improved Safety Achievement Award: recognizes the firm with the most improved incident rate in year of record from numbers they submit for the prior year or that were retained from a prior submittal.

Zero Lost time Accident Achievement Award: provided to all submitting companies who achieved an incident rate of zero for the year of record.

Certificate of Recognition: awarded to all companies whose incident rate fell below the national average for residential foundation contractors, a number made available by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
