BEAR Construction was recently chosen to receive a 2025 Safety Award of Merit from the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association (FMA). Open to all FMA company members, the FMA/CNA Annual Safety Awards recognize metal fabrication companies that adhere to excellence in safety.
Sponsored by CNA, the endorsed business insurance carrier for FMA, the Awards are designed to promote safety in the industry, and winners are selected by the FMA Safety Council. The Safety Award of Merit is given to companies posting an injury and illness incidence rate for the reporting period that is better than the published Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) rate by 10 percent or greater, based on their NAICS code.
“At BEAR, we are fully committed to our ‘Safety First – Safety Always’ culture, and recognitions like this resonate deeply with our organizational values. Thank you FMA for this honor,” said Mike Mahony, Safety Manager.
Firms of all sizes were eligible. Winners were selected based on North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code categories and BLS injury and illness incidence rates.
