Andy Anderson Receives National Safety Award

Andy Anderson of Associated Construction Services, LLC, in Pinopolis became the first South Carolinian to win an NAHB Safety Awards for Execellence (SAFE). Anderson was one of fourteen builders, contractors, industry officials and organizations from across the country to receive a SAFE award at IBS in February.

Anderson was presented the NAHB Leadership in Construction Safety Award for his lifelong commitment to improving construction safety in the home building industry, including serving three terms as chairman of the NAHB Safety Committee and guiding NAHB’s numerous construction safety efforts including establishing the NAHB-OSHA alliance, expanding NAHB’s construction safety training and education offerings and developing the NAHB Safety Awards For Excellence.

“NAHB is proud to recognize these companies for their outstanding efforts to protect our industry’s most valuable resource — its workers,” said Robert Matuga, NAHB assistant staff vice president of labor, safety and health. “They stand as an example for everyone in the construction industry to model their own safety programs and behaviors after.”

In its second year, the SAFE awards recognize members for developing and implementing high-quality safety programs and for their efforts to advance safety in the home building industry.
