Associated Builders and Contractors
Local and National Recognition
Virginia’s BUILT Program
We are proud to be recognized in Tier II of ABC’s BUILT program. Tier II is the intermediate tier of recognition in the partnership for those employers that demonstrate outstanding safety and health performance and have built an established safety and health management system that exceeds current VOSH regulatory requirements Tier Two participants actively mentor other contractors and subcontractors.
National Health and Safety Merit Award
MEB earned the National Health and Safety Merit Award from Associated Builders and Contractors, which was presented at the 36th annual Excellence in Construction® Awards during ABC Convention 2026 in Salt Lake City on March 19. During the selection process, contractors were judged on self-evaluation scores, lost workday case rates, total recordable incident rates, leading indicator use, process and program innovations and interviews conducted by members of ABC’s National Health and Safety Committee.
“The safety record of MEB speaks for itself, setting the standard for a culture of care for its people,” said 2026 Chair of the ABC National Board of Directors Thomas “Murph” Murphy, vice president of Power & Construction Group, Scottsville, New York. “Safety values remain consistent for MEB, which are nearly seven times safer than the industry average. They are employers of choice because they refuse to compromise on health and safety for every single employee. Thank you to these safety leaders for transforming the status quo.”
