Safety Pinnacle Award

A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY EXCELLENCE

The Pinnacle Awards reward those who go above and beyond.

Starting with the Topaz award and graduating to the Diamond, each award is measured with criteria that demonstrates the commitment of the recipients’ leadership to the safety and well-being of their workers. We gather annually to celebrate the success of companies who have achieved excellence in safety at the Pinnacle Awards Gala. For more information on the upcoming Gala, click here.
