Safety Driven is a safety incentive program created by Minnesota LECET to
help signatory contractors and Laborer Union members improve in the area of
worksite safety. The program offers quarterly and annual award recognition
throughout the year culminating in the Annual Laborers Award during the fall
of each year, where one Union Laborer will be randomly drawn for the annual
recognition award.
"We are very pleased with the significant response by union contractors to
become part of Safety Driven," said Ron Thornburg, chairman of Minnesota
LECET. "Safety is important to both the Union members and contractors to
ensure the health of workers and in building high quality construction."
Currently, there are more than 11,000 Skilled Construction Laborers
working on highway and commercial construction, environmental and public works
projects throughout Minnesota and North Dakota. For more information about
