The CSEA examines each candidate’s commitment to safety and to its safety culture. Sponsored by Willis, the world’s leading Construction Insurance and Surety Broker, the CSEA is the industry’s elite safety excellence awards program for construction companies of all sizes and occupational divisions. The extensive CSEA selection process is a comprehensive review where judges look for evidence of company management commitment, active employee participation, safety training, worksite hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.
