Local contracting firm among most prestigious category of Zero Incidence Rate

    Toccoa-based construction firm Bowen & Watson, Inc., has been recognized as one of 18 contractor firms in the most prestigious category of Zero Incidence Rate by Associated General Contractors of Georgia (AGC Georgia) and Associated General Contractors of America (AGC).
    The safety awards program provides an opportunity for general and specialty contractors to compare their safety records against national averages and with contractors of similar size and who perform similar types of construction.
    “We are thrilled to recognize these firms for their unwavering commitment to fostering a culture focused on safety”, says AGC Georgia CEO Mike Dunham.
    The firm also received the AGC Georgia Award for No Lost Time Accidents for 2020 commemorating the firm’s outstanding safety record.  
    “It is because of the efforts of every team member that we are able to maintain a high safety standard on our jobsites”, says Bowen & Watson safety coordinator Stacy Allen.     
    In addition to the two awards presented to the firm, 13 of Bowen & Watson’s supervisors were awarded the Ron Amerson Supervisor’s Safety Award from the Associated General Contractors of Georgia (AGC Georgia).
    The Ron Amerson Supervisors’ Safety Awards program is designed to recognize AGC of America members’ supervisors for outstanding contributions to safety on their job sites.
    The measurement criterion is based on safety incidence rates for individual supervisors in conjunction with actual man-hours directly supervised by each employee.
    Only those supervisors who showed a commitment to outstanding safety are eligible.
     Bowen & Watson superintendents who were honored (and met the requirements of zero lost time accidents and a minimum number of man-hours supervised in 2020) are Quint Broome, Daniel Crew, Roger Crew, Nic Green, Tanner Holcomb.
    Also, Henry Holland, Jerry Johnson, Abe Keener, Randy Pettyjohn, Andy Ricks, Jimmy Ritchie, James Savage and Donald ‘Tater’ Williams.
