Hartford CT: On February 27, 2018,
Shepard Steel, a 60 year strong
structural and miscellaneous fab-
ricator, became the 2018 National
Winner of the Willis Towers Watson
Award; sponsored by the AGC (As-
sociated General Contractors) of
America.
Competing nationally
with other companies
that also excelled in
safety performance, Shepard Steel
was awarded fi rst place based on
their commitment to safety and
occupational health management
and risk control. Shepard Steel's
Executive Vice President, Brian
Ritchie (pictured second from left,

front of a panel comprised of fi ve
judges at the National AGC Confer-

awards that limit the safety criteria

participation, safety training, work
site hazard and safety controls, and
safety program inno-
vations.
Of the company's
recent award, President Rick Beck-

of the hard work and dedication of
all of our employees to a safe work
environment. Shepard Steel is com-
mitted to "safety fi rst" and all of our

lated. We are all very proud of this
achievement."
