For the past sixteen years, the Houston Business Roundtable, a non-profit business association, has been recognizing Greater Houston Area contractors for outstanding safety performance. This award process has brought together many of the chemical, refining, and energy companies on the Gulf Coast, in a cooperative effort with the contractors that provide construction and maintenance services to improve on-site safety, reduce accidents, and most importantly, reduce injuries to personnel.

Approximately 800 industry representatives, from both owner and contractor companies, attended the safety awards banquet, recognizing fifty-eight nominated contractors with exemplary performance. Seven companies in the award competition were chosen as this year’s winners in each of seven separate categories.
