Granite (NYSE:GVA) is proud to announce that the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) has recognized Granite with the Louis Griesemer Sterling Safety Award in Silver, and a total of 10 Awards of Excellence in the categories of Community Relations and Environmental Excellence.

“It is with great honor that Granite accepts The Louis Griesemer Sterling Safety Award, which is a testament to the steadfast commitment of NSSGA member companies who prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees,” said Granite Senior Vice of Construction Materials, Brad Estes. “These awards acknowledge member companies with the lowest total accident incidence rate for the previous year within their respective size categories.”

Granite’s Highway 175 Facility, Felton Quarry & AC Facility, and Handley Ranch Quarry were honored with the Bronze Community Relations Excellence Award, recognizing their outstanding commitment to community engagement and initiatives that positively shape public perception of both the aggregates industry and their individual operations.

This prestigious award was achieved by the Solari Facility in both Gold and Platinum, and in Silver by the Big Rock Aggregates Plant, the Santa Barbara Construction & Demolition Facility, and the Felton Quarry & AC Facility.

“We prioritize safety at every level of our organization and recognize the importance of collaborating with our stakeholders to drive safety performance and meet the goals of sustainable development,” said Granite President and Chief Executive Officer, Kyle Larkin.
