And the Winner is… Golden Triangle Business Roundtable Recognizes Area Contractors for Outstanding Safety Performance

Port Arthur, TX, September 19, 2024 – The Golden Triangle Business Roundtable (GTBR) held its 33rd Annual Contractor Safety Awards Luncheon on September 19, 2024, at the Robert “Bob” Bowers Civic Center to recognize and honor this year’s contractor safety award nominees and award recipients. This annual event honors Golden Triangle contractors for exemplary safety performance in the workplace. GTBR members, which are the owner industrial facilities, nominate contractors for these awards and the GTBR Safety Awards Committee, comprised of Safety professionals representing the industrial owner sites, evaluates the nominations before selecting the recipients that will be recognized during this banquet. This year was marked by an all-time high number of nominations and attendees at the banquet.

Gloria Moncada, Regional Manufacturing Manager, Americas North for ExxonMobil, was this year’s keynote speaker.  Plant Managers and Executives from each Owner site presented the Owner Tribute Awards to each contractor company that was nominated by their site.

 

“This year, there were 116 nominations from 18 different owner facilities. In 2023, the nominees reported working over 23 million man-hours.  The performance metrics of the Industries of Southeast Texas collectively show our OSHA Experience Modifier Rates are well below the national average,” stated Daniel Misko, GTBR Board Chairman and ExxonMobil Beaumont Complex Mechanical Manager.  “Considering the current growth rate of industrial expansions throughout our region, and the contribution of Southeast Texas industries to the overall economic benefit to the nation’s fuels, petroleum & petrochemical products, the current trends reflected in maintained safety data are unprecedented and this accomplishment simply needs to be recognized.”

 

21 contractor companies received competitive awards at the banquet. Criteria was based on numerous statistics such as recordable incident rates, OSHA incident history, consecutive days since a recordable or lost time had occurred and changes or innovations to programs, processes or procedures that were implemented to keep the workforce productive and safe. Mason Construction and Industrial Specialty Crafts received the premier “Donald T. Boumans Pinnacle Award,” the highest honor, at the end of the banquet.
