Anchorage, Alaska –
Ahtna Global, LLC (AGL) is pleased to announce it has received the Association of General Contractors’ ConocoPhillips “Excellence in Safety – Heavy Division” award at this year’s annual statewide ceremony on November 11, 2020. This
award promotes and recognizes excellence in safety throughout the construction industry in Alaska. There was plenty of strong competition.
The “Heavy Division” is awarded to companies that completed projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, the U.S. Air Force, General Services Administration, or other federal agencies; any type of marine construction or dredging projects for ports and inland waterways; flood control and prevention projects for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Bureau of Reclamation and any industrial plant construction.
The applications were reviewed by an independent panel of safety professionals with special attention to upper management commitment, worker training, active participation of the entire company, and special innovations.
An example of a quantitative measure of AGL’s record: over the past year AGL’s 47 employees logged 37,068 hours of work, with 0 Total Lost Work‐day Cases of Injuries/Illnesses, 0 Lost Workday Incidence Rate (# of lost workday cases X 200,000 ÷ total employee hours worked), 0 Total Recordable Injuries/Illnesses, 0 Recordable Incident Rate (# of total recordable cases X 200,000 ÷ total employee hours worked), 0 Days Away, Restrictions, Transfers (DART) Rate (# of total workday cases + total restricted workday cases X 200,000 ÷ total employee hours worked.) Note: AGL’s DART rate has been “0” every year since 2016, showing that safety has always been a priority at Ahtna.
AGL will now be able to include this prestigious award as concrete evidence of its safety in its marketing campaigns and responses to requests for proposals, differentiating us from our competitors. Employees appreciate knowing they work for a company that makes a point of protecting its people from on‐the‐job harm.
