America’s Safest Companies of 2024

Aug. 8, 2024
EHS Today honors 8 companies that embody the best in safety culture leadership.

What do a multi-billion dollar consumer packaged goods manufacturer, an industrial roofing company, a specialist in nuclear waste disposal, and a woman-owned civil industrial construction company have in common? This year, plenty. They’re all winners of EHS Today’s annual America’s Safest Companies competition. Despite their differences—in size, geographic location, industry sectors—they all excel in workplace safety. They’re not just good at safety; they’re among the best of the best.

The America’s Safest Companies award has a basic mission: To identify and celebrate companies that go above and beyond in the pursuit of safety excellence, and then to share their stories with the entire safety community.

When applying for consideration as one of America’s Safest Companies, organizations must demonstrate excellence in several areas: support from leadership and management for EHS efforts; employee involvement in the EHS process; innovative solutions to safety challenges; injury and illness rates lower than the average for their industries; comprehensive training programs; evidence that prevention of incidents is the cornerstone of the safety process; good communication about the value of safety; and a way to substantiate the benefits of the safety process.

The awards will be presented during a special ceremony at EHS Today’s Safety Leadership Conference 2024, in Denver, Colorado, August 26-28. Go to www.safetyleadershipconference.com for all the details and to register.

The 2024 Class of America’s Safest Companies are:

The America’s Safest Companies awards program was founded by EHS Today in 2002. To date, more than 250 companies have been recognized, with some companies having won the award more than once. We hope that these safety profiles will inspire you to consider applying for the award in 2025.
