The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) have named C.E. Floyd Company an Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) for the fourth year in a row. The AQC program is an accreditation program which publicly recognizes and honors those construction firms which have documented their commitment in four key areas of corporate responsibility: safety, employee benefits, training and community relations. ABC members with the AQC designation are strong community partners, provide a safe work environment and offer employees both training opportunities and above standard benefits.
President and CEO of C.E. Floyd Company Charles Floyd said, "At C.E. Floyd Company, people are our greatest asset, and being named an AQC gives credibility to our efforts to provide a nurturing environment for everyone in the company and to create challenging and rewarding opportunities for them."
C.E. Floyd vice president Ray Caruso said, "We make a sincere effort to provide our employees with quality benefits and a safe work environment. Our people receive current construction industry training that allows them to productively deliver to our clients a project they expect and deserve. In addition, our organization has made community involvement a part of our business work ethic. We are proud to be a friend and neighbor in the communities where we work."
C.E. Floyd Company is also a recipient of a 2010 Gold STEP (Safety Training and Evaluation Program) Award, a program created to enable ABC members to evaluate and improve corporate safety practices and recognize outstanding safety training efforts. According to the ABC, STEP contractors receive 70% fewer OSHA citations per inspection, have a 41% lower incidence rate and a 16% lower EMR than the industry average. A Platinum or Gold level STEP Award is a prerequisite for earning the AQC designation.
"As we grow, C. E. Floyd Company remains dedicated to providing a commitment to excellence in our work, for our employees and in our communities." Caruso said.
C.E. Floyd Company serves New England from its Massachusetts and Connecticut locations. The company provides preconstruction, general contracting, construction management and design/build services in the biotech, commercial, educational, hospitality, religious and senior housing sectors and is a member of both the AGC and ABC.
