O&G Industries received a 2018 Connecticut Construction Industry Association (CCIA) Platinum Safety Award for their company-wide safety performance in 2018.

The award is presented annually to construction firms that meet or exceed national safety statistics. Nominees are judged by a panel of industry experts on the number of injuries or illnesses; total hours worked; Experience Modification Rates (EMR); work-related fatalities or catastrophic events; and number of OSHA citations.

O&G also received a 2018 National Ready Mix Concrete Association Safety Award and a 2018 SmartDrive Safety Ambassador Award.
