Over the weekend we celebrated all of our CORE award winners for the year of 2017. We made sure to include their families in the festivities too so they can see their loved ones recognized!

Our CORE Award is a safety award which is handed out to recognize employees for their commitment to our safety culture. CORE is an acronym that stands for Commitment to Operations Reflecting Excellence in Safety, and our award is made from actual asphalt and stone core that PJK QC takes for testing! It's focused on recognizing teams or projects that have worked together to prioritize safety in their spaces.

We're so thankful to have had a great and safe year, and so proud to have so many employees who echo our commitment to safety!
