We are incredibly proud to share that multiple APM divisions have again been recognized by The Association of Union Constructors (“TAUC”) for their dedication towards safety during the 2021 working year.

Established in 1983, the Thomas J. Reynolds Award for Excellence in Construction Safety and Health was named in honor of Thomas J. Reynolds. The U.S. Navy veteran held many high-level safety positions and was eventually appointed as a long-serving member of TAUC’s previous organization, the National Erectors Association. Reynolds assisted in writing proposed construction safety standards for OSHA in 1980 and is identified as a peak figure in advancing worker safety everywhere.

TAUC’s Thomas J. Reynolds Award recognizes member contractors who achieve a Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) rate of 25% or more below the national industry average rate within a calendar year.

APM received a certificate for having a DART rate below the national industry average rate in 2021. Our APM Boiler division took home a Thomas J. Reynolds Category III award for reaching 100,000 - 499,999 manhours completed without a single DART case recorded. The 2021 recognition marks five consecutive years the APM Boiler Division has obtained this awesome safety goal.

A good Safety Task Analysis meeting, utilizing STOP authority, 20-20-20, and Human Operational Performance training were among the many key strategies involved when engaging employees and implementing proactive safety behaviors.

Directly advocating for the greatest level of safety for one another is shown in adhering to safety standards and pushing for improvements. This powerful level of cooperation can go a long way in making any APM jobsite the best place to work!

Congratulations to our APM teams in maintaining a positive safety and health culture that is repeatedly recognized by partners in our industry!
