ABOUT
CDRA Best Practices in Safety Awards
 Creating a Best Practices in Safety Management Program
Construction Demolition recycling and related operations have some inherent risk factors and the
most successful operators have created a specific plan of action to minimize those risks and create
a safety culture. It has been proven that companies that focus on safety are more profitable than
those that do not.
The CDRA has created a Best Practices in Safety Award program to recognize those companies
that have achieved a high level of safety management. But more importantly to begin to identify a
level of safety performance that will help C&D operators manage their business as a Best Practices
in safety company.

 Benefits of participating in the CDRA Best Practices in Safety Awards:
• Provides members an organized approach to analyzing and to further develop your company’s
  safety and loss prevention programs.
• Provides an objective method to measure your company’s safety program improvement from year to year.
• Enables you to benchmark your company’s safety performance with other businesses in your industry.
• Provides recognition for safety performance that will encourage efforts and provide customer
  recognition as a safe company.
• Will help reduce frequency and severity of employee injuries and property loss.
• Will help lower Experience Modification rates leading to insurance cost savings.
