LEAD President Mark Curtiss, says, “This is a significant honor to have our company chosen as a recipient of AEU’s annual safety award. It clearly has been a team effort—from LEAD Marine Division Account Manager Alan Biliti and the LEAD Marine team on the front line in the yards to our Tampa Bay Office Operations Manager Chelsea Deal, and the AEU loss control team—ensuring that we get our injured employees back to work in a timely manner.”
Mark explains the AEU award is based on the frequency and severity of workers’ compensation incidents for the prior years, as well as safety-related metrics determined by AEU’s loss control team. “We must always maintain our diligence when it comes to safety and return to work, but this award clearly provides a sincere level of validation that what we are doing is working,” says Mark.
