“Safety is our mission each and every day at work,” Wells said. “We are so pleased that we were able to work all of 2024 with no injuries, no incidents, and no lost time.”

The Texas Bluebonnet Safety Award, presented by TxDOT and AGC of Texas, honors organizations that proactively reduce workplace incidents and achieve zero incident rates. The program evaluates safety records against similar entities to recognize outstanding performance.
