This tripartite award honors owners, union contractors and craft personnel for
their collaboration in support of the zero injury philosophy on what can often
be large and dangerous job sites. The Gold Star is the highest award possible
in the Zero Injury Safety Award program.

McCarl's Inc. was honored for performing 1,020,785 work-hours with zero
recordable injuries, while employing craft personnel from the Central
Pennsylvania Building Trades Council at PPL Corporation's Brunner Island
Station in York Haven, Pennsylvania.

"I am extremely proud to accept this prestigious award on behalf of our most
valuable asset, our employees," Robert Santillo, McCarl's president, said.
"To achieve this level of safety excellence requires the focus and commitment
of each and every employee, each and every day. A safe jobsite does not
happen by chance, it's a team effort. I am honored to be part of this
milestone for PPL Brunner Island, the Central Building Trades and McCarl's."

This year's ceremony honored 73 tripartite winners, representing more than 11
million injury-free work-hours on industrial construction sites.

ZISA has solidified its title as the most prestigious safety award in the
construction industry.

The 9th annual NMAPC Zero Injury Safety Awards were held at the National Air
and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
