The Golden Triangle Business Roundtable (GTBR) held its 28th annual Contractor Safety Awards on August 20, 2019 to recognize this year’s contractor safety award nominees, finalists and award recipients. This annual event honors Golden Triangle contractors for outstanding safety performance in the workplace. GTBR industrial members nominate contractors for these awards. Then the GTBR Safety Committee, made up of industry safety professionals, conducts a thorough evaluation of the nominations including on-site visits and interviews with the contractors and contractor employees before selecting the award recipients. This year’s luncheon sold out with an estimated 600 people in attendance.
“Our safety committee reviewed 59 nominations from 15 different facilities over the course of 8 weeks,” said Greg Bromenshenkel, safety committee chair and health, safety and security at Motiva Enterprises. “This GTBR Contractor Safety Awards program provides shared knowledge across industrial facilities for best-in-class safety processes and procedures and over the years seen a decline in the number of work-related injuries.”
Allen Runte, senior maintenance manager for TOTAL Refinery, was this year’s keynote speaker and other guest speakers include, Congressman Randy Weber and Representative Dade Phelan.
“When Golden Triangle Business Roundtable first offered the Contractor Safety Awards in 1991, the goal was to improve the safety and welfare of area contractor employees,” said Natalie Thompson, chairperson of GTBR and mechanical division manager at ExxonMobil’s Beaumont refinery. “The petrochemical industry has seen a decline in the number of injuries which demonstrates a continued effort to make safety the number one priority. Thank you to all committee participants and contributors to making this program a success.”
