- Quality-based industry honors and third-party recognition;
- Maintenance of an effective company quality control program;
- Financial stability and adequate bond status;
- A strict safety environment, including
- Total Recordable Incident Rates (TRIR) at or below the industry average,
- a robust safety training program in adherence with the company’s corporate safety manual,
