Dynalectric in Georgia Recognized with Two Awards
Dynalectric Company in Georgia was recognized with two awards by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Georgia during its annual Excellence in Construction awards program in June 2012—a Gold Level 2012 STEP (Safety Training and Evaluation Process) award for exemplary safety practices and performance, and a 2012 Award of Merit for superior contracting performance.
Dynalectric Company in Georgia, an electrical contractor serving the southeastern U.S., is a subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE:EME), a Fortune 500®leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure, and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses.
“ABC’s Safety Awards are presented to Georgia contractors achieving low on-the-job accident rates and demonstrating the highest commitment to safety,” stated Ray Hopkins, President, Dynalectric Company. “Being honored with a Gold STEP Award is testament to the dedication of Dynalectric in its continuing efforts to strive for a goal of zero accidents so employees may return home safely every day.”
ABC’s STEP awards recognize member companies employing effective jobsite safety practices; evaluations are based on 20 key elements of contractor safety programs, such as management commitment, pre-planning for safety, safety training, and resources committed to safety. The STEP process, which was developed and written by contractors for contractors, is a tool designed to objectively evaluate safety programs, as well as policies, procedures, and training.
“ABC’s Excellence in Construction awards recognizes skill and creativity of the entire team—contractor, owner, architect and engineer—responsible for an outstanding construction project—recipients are leaders in innovation, safety and quality,” explained Mr. Hopkins. “Dynalectric was honored with an Award of Merit in the Specialty Contractors category for work on The Athens Medical Complex, which means an enormous amount to the entire Dynalectric team, who stepped up and met an aggressive schedule, safely, and with the workmanship, quality, and precision second-to-none.”
For its work on The Athens Medical Complex, a new ambulatory surgery center in Athens, Georgia where Dynalectric was responsible for installation of electrical systems for the entire facility, including operating rooms, patient stations, pre-op stations, recovery areas, and endocrinology stations, as well as installation of a fully addressable nurse call system and a 300 kw backup generator, Dynalectric was recognized in the category of “Electrical: Commercial under $2 million.”
Dynalectric’s commitment to safety is part of a multi-tiered, integrated approach that includes a Zero Accident program as well as a host of supporting initiatives, such as the “Be There For Life” program.
