Crown Point, IN –8.14.2020–The Northwest Indiana Business RoundTable (NWIBRT), a nonprofit council of local firms, is pleased to announce that Middough Inc.displayed exemplary performance in safety during the 2019 calendar year, exceeding national averages.
To celebrate the accomplishment,NWIBRT presented the company with a Safety Excellence award during a small ceremony recently. Normally, the association would hold a banquet with up to 700 guests, but in the interest of safety –which is NWIBRT’s mission –this year’s awards ceremony was kept to a minimum size.
“Safety is a constant effort that requires incredible dedication and NWIBRT is truly proud to celebrate our region’s top performers. We salute and celebrate all of their hard work in keeping NWI construction as safe as it can possibly be,” said Don Bull, NWIBRT Executive Committee chairman and NIPSCO director of outage management and systems engineering.
“All of our Middough employees believe that work can be accomplished without incident or injury. This is exemplified by their daily participation in our “Safe by Choice” leading indicator programs. It’s great to have our employees recognized for their efforts in supporting our safety culture,” said Tom Sexton, EHS Manager.
Winning companies were selected based on their accident and injury rates for 2019, which includes a company’s Days Away from Work (DAFW), Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred Rate (DART), and Total Recordable Incidence Rate (TRIR).
In order to receive a Recognition award, a company had to achieve rates that were lower than national industry averages. Achievement awards were given for having rates below the NWI regional contractor community’s average. Finally, Excellence awards were given to companies that met Achievement criteria for the last three years.
