Walsh & Kelly, Inc., an 85-year-old paving company based in Griffith, Indiana, received a certificate of commendation for safety from the Associated General Contractors of America for its industry-leading safety rating in 2017, according to The Times of Northwest Indiana.
“It is with great pride that we can accept this award, provide a safe work environment and create a safety-first culture,” the company said in a press release, according to the news agency. “We are rightly proud of our teammates and the efforts they put into safety, and could not do this without everyone doing their part.”
Walsh & Kelly doubles as a road-building contractor for various government agencies and likes to brag that “if you drive the roads of northwest Indiana with any regularity, then chances are you’ll drive on a road that Walsh & Kelly, Inc. has built or renovated.”
