Contractors Earn Top MCAA/CNA Safety Awards

March 30, 2026

MCAA and CNA have recognized companies for their achievements in safety through the MCAA/CNA Safety Excellence Awards. This program, which began in the 1990s, honors member companies that have demonstrated strong safety practices and innovative approaches to achieving high safety and health standards.

The Safety Excellence Awards focus on evaluating safety programs, health initiatives, and the impact of safety innovations within the industry. Companies are divided into five categories based on the number of work hours they report, with winners selected by a committee of industry peers. The awards program provides a platform for companies to showcase their safety efforts and share best practices.

To participate, companies submit detailed descriptions of their safety programs, including the strategies they’ve employed to achieve safety excellence and why they believe they should be recognized. The Safety Awards Selection Taskforce, led by CNA, reviews submissions with an emphasis on safety leadership, a strong safety culture, effective performance indicators, and innovative initiatives that have contributed to the company’s safety achievements.

MCAA congratulates the winners of this year’s MCAA/CNA Safety Excellence Awards:

  • ICOM Mechanical Inc. | Category 1: 0-200,000 hours
  • Heffron Company Inc. | Category 2: 200,001-500,000 hours

The MCAA/CNA Safety Excellence Awards highlight the importance of safety leadership and the ongoing efforts to improve safety and health practices across the industry.
