FCA International announced the winners of its fifth-annual CREST Awards on Friday, May 8 during its Annual Awards Event in Chicago. Of the companies who entered, five received international recognition announcing them as the safest contractor in industrial coating, and three other companies were recognized as Top 10 Finishers. Winners and Top 10 Finishers are now recognized leaders in construction safety.
“The FCA CREST Awards were created to encourage and recognize contractors who have led an effective safety program throughout the year,” explained Anthony Darkangelo, CEO of FCA International. “CREST Award winners have proven that protecting their employees is a priority at their company, and that they are a leader in construction safety.”

In addition to CREST Awards being won in individual categories, one entrant who took his or her safety program to new heights is selected for the CREST Chairman’s
