Chapman Corporation, a premier provider of civil, mechanical, and electrical construction services for 75 years, has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Governor’s Award for Safety Excellence (GASE) by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry. This honor, presented at the Governor’s Occupational Safety & Health (GOSH) Conference, celebrates Chapman’s exceptional dedication to workplace safety, innovation in safety programs, and commitment to employee protection across Pennsylvania.

Since its establishment in 1997, the highly competitive GASE award has recognized exemplary workplace safety programs, promoted management-employee collaboration, and fostered the sharing of valuable best practices throughout the Commonwealth. This year, two companies have been awarded: Chapman Corporation of Washington, PA, and the Gettysburg Foundation in Gettysburg, PA. Both organizations were commended for their innovative safety practices that exceed standard safety protocols.

Chapman Corporation’s standout safety initiatives, highlighted by the GASE Review Committee, were the 3D Lift Plan and Finish Strong Program. The 3D Lift Plan uses virtual simulations of anticipated crane lifts, enabling Chapman to foresee and address potential safety challenges before execution. This innovation is supported by a full-time role dedicated to overseeing the process, underscoring Chapman’s proactive approach to safety management. Additionally, the Finish Strong Program combats complacency by maintaining a high level of safety awareness as projects near completion, fostering a strong safety culture from project inception to close.

Chapman’s remarkable safety record includes over three million hours worked with zero lost-time injuries in the past four years. Since 2000, at what time the Zero Injury Safety Awards commenced, Chapman has received a total of 119 Zero Injury Safety Awards (ZISA) and worked over 24 million hours injury free under the National Maintenance Agreement Policy Committee. Chapman has also received the Thomas J. Reynolds award in 2023, presented by The Association of Union Contractors for maintaining a zero DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) rate. These achievements have set a benchmark in workplace safety for companies not only in Pennsylvania, but throughout the Tri-State Area.

The award was formally presented at Chapman’s headquarters Wednesday, November 13th, 2024.
