Tusco Triumphs Again: Honored with Back-to-Back “Safest in the Industry” Awards

Tusco’s commitment to safety was again recognized at the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Alabama’s 2025 Safe Day, where our team proudly accepted two “Safest in the Industry” Awards, the Eagle Award and the Innovation in Safety Award, for the second consecutive year. This back-to-back recognition is a testament to the strength of our safety culture and the dedication of every individual on our team.

ABC Alabama’s Safe Day is an annual celebration of safety directors, company owners, and employees committed to promoting and continually improving workplace safety. Founded by the Alabama Chapter and brought to life through the vision of ABC Alabama President Jay Reed, Safe Day has now become nationally recognized as a leading example of elevating safety across the construction industry.

The Innovation in Safety Award is presented to companies employing unique and forward-thinking safety measures to protect their workforce. The Eagle Award, the highest recognition for Safety Excellence at the state level, was awarded to just six companies across Alabama this year and Tusco was proud to be among them.

The 2025 recognition comes on the heels of Tusco’s return from ABC’s National Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, where we were honored with a National Safety Merit Award for our outstanding safety performance in 2024. This national recognition evaluated every aspect of Tusco’s safety program and included interviews with Tusco’s President and Executive Vice President, reinforcing that safety must be a top-down philosophy. At Tusco, safety leadership starts at the highest level of the organization and is woven into the fabric of every project, policy, and person.

Additionally, Tusco was recognized as a founding member of ABC’s National Safety Alliance and once again achieved STEP Gold status, reflecting our continued efforts to lead with innovation, accountability, and genuine care for our people.

“Receiving these awards two years in a row is more than a milestone,” said Brent Martina, President of Tusco. “It reflects our unwavering belief that every employee deserves to go home safely each day. We are grateful to ABC Alabama and the STEP program for providing the tools, resources, and support that make safety excellence possible.”

If your company wants to strengthen its safety culture, we strongly encourage you to join ABC and begin your journey through the STEP program. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about building a better, safer future for your people and the industry. Visit  https://www.abc.org/ABCSTEP to being your safety journey today!
