Springfield, IL – Demonstrating a strong commitment to employee safety and health, GZA GeoEnvironmental has been repeatedly recognized with Rock Solid Safety awards by the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers (IAAP).
At a recent awards ceremony, held at the IAAP’s annual convention in Springfield, Illinois, Maryrose Ramacci, IAAP Sustainability Committee Chair, said, “A sustainable business has the support and approval of its employees, stakeholders and the community. By reducing workplace injuries, we not only save money, we save lives, improve performance, create careers rather than just jobs, and build an industry that is a proud and prosperous place to be employed.”
IAAP member companies and their employees must meet specific health and safety criteria that go beyond federal Mine Safety and Health Administration requirements to qualify for four levels of awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold and the highest award Rock Solid Excellence in Safety. GZA GeoEnvironmental has consistently received Rock Solid Safety awards at various levels since 2006.
“By rewarding our industry’s leaders, member companies are encouraged and being recognized for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone at the mine site and in nearby communities,” said Dan Eichholz, IAAP Executive Director at the recent ceremony.
The Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers is the trade association serving the aggregate and industrial mineral mining industry in Illinois for more than fifty years. Full lists of award-winning companies and sites can be found on the IAAP website at: iaap-aggregates.org.
