Last week, Associated Construction Contractors of New Jersey (ACCNJ) member Petillo Companies secured 1st place at Associated General Contractors of America’s (AGC) “Construction Safety Excellence Awards.”

Petillo Companies earned their award in the Utility Division as a company with over 750,000 working hours.

“On behalf of ACCNJ, I want to congratulate Petillo Companies for earning a 1st place award at the Construction Safety Excellence Awards,” said Jack Kocsis, CEO, ACCNJ. “This award is not only a well-deserved recognition, but a testament to their strong commitment to safety and high standards that they bring to every project. We are proud to have Petillo as a member of ACCNJ.”

The purpose of the Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA) is to recognize those construction companies who excel at safety performance. The CSEA closely examines each candidate’s commitment to safety, occupational health management, and risk control.

Participants went through a rigorous competition starting in January of this year. The AGC Safety & Health Committee reviewed and judged submittals at the Construction Safety & Health Conference held at the beginning of this year, and the finalists were then invited to compete in-person at the AGC Annual Convention where they were required to give an oral presentation in front of five judges. WInners were then announced at the AGC National Convention, which was held last week.

Petillo Companies is a full service site work and heavy highway construction company serving the Northeastern United States. They are located in Flanders, NJ.
