The Contractors Association of West Virginia (CAWV) has announced the association’s 2024 Safety Excellence Award winners. The award winners were recognized during the March 26, 2025 CAWV State Meeting held in conjunction with the annual West Virginia Construction + Design EXPO at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.
The association annually recognizes contractor and associate members who have exhibited a superior effort to improve safety in the construction industry. Members participating in the program are scored on their documented safety policies and procedures, their commitment and approach to safety and health and their recorded statistical data for the year. Special attention is given to the quality of safety training provided to employees and members who demand active employee involvement in their safety process.
