America’s Safest Companies of 2025
At first glance, there might not seem to be much in common between a Fortune 500 multinational defense contractor employing upwards of 20,000 people and a construction firm specializing in retail developments with a workforce of less than 400. And yet, both these companies share a common bond, one shared with just a few other companies in 2025: They are winners of EHS Today’s America’s Safest Companies award. That means that when it comes to workplace safety, they’re the best of the best.
The America’s Safest Companies award was launched back in 2002 with the goal of first identifying, and then publicizing, and ultimately celebrating those companies that go the extra mile in their pursuit of world-class safety excellence.
To be considered for the America’s Safest Companies award, 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 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona, October 20-22. Go to www.safetyleadershipconference.com for all the details and to register.
The 2025 Class of America’s Safest Companies are:
- Albany Engineered Composites;
- Apollo Mechanical;
- B.L. Harbert International;
- KBR;
- Mangan Inc.; and
- Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, Inc.
In the 24 years since EHS Today began the America’s Safest Companies awards program, we’ve handed out nearly 300 awards, 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 2026. There’s always room at the top for safety excellence.
