Haskell has been recognized by the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) with a 2026 Construction Industry Safety Excellence (CISE) Constructor Award in the General Building Contractors category for companies performing more than 3 million work hours annually.

This marks the second time in the past three years that Haskell has earned the award, an especially significant achievement because CURT recipients are not eligible to receive the award in consecutive years.

The CISE Awards recognize construction organizations that demonstrate sustained excellence in safety performance and a commitment to continuously improving how work is planned and executed. CURT specifically recognized Haskell’s approach to visible leadership, proactive risk management, accountability, training and the use of innovative tools to identify and control hazards before work begins.

Ben Goode, Director of Corporate Safety, accepted the award on behalf of Haskell during the 2026 CURT Awards of Excellence Celebration on October 6 in Charlotte, N.C.

“Receiving this award for the second time in three years is a reflection of the work being done every day by our project teams, craft professionals, safety professionals and trade partners,” Goode said. “Safety isn’t the responsibility of one department or one person. It comes down to how we plan the work, identify the energy and exposures involved, put the right controls in place and then verify those controls are actually being used.”

CURT comprises 60 architectural, engineering and construction firms, 19 construction owners and six industry associations. The CISE Awards program was established to recognize commendable safety management and safety improvements of owners and constructors.

Haskell’s safety program continues to evolve beyond traditional injury-rate measures toward a greater focus on serious injury and fatality prevention, energy-based safety, control verification and learning from events. That approach includes Daily Work Planning, structured field inspections, leadership engagement, craft development, advanced Type II head protection, technology-assisted hazard recognition and increasing data-driven identification of emerging risks.

The approach is straightforward: Safety is the presence of controls. Preventing serious incidents requires understanding where significant energy exists, planning for those exposures before work begins and ensuring effective controls remain in place throughout the work.

Haskell’s safety performance is one of many ways it ensures the greatest possible risk management on its clients’ projects. Contact our project management team to discuss your facilities needs.
