Ally Safety is a company known for its accessible and engaging safety training videos.

Ally Safety has embraced using QR codes to access this content and plans to create virtual reality videos later this year.
Best Safety Committee: Phillips 66

Moving Beyond Compliance Award: EV Construction
EV Construction is unique in its focus on growth of behavioral safety and company culture. This includes hiring for character, management's open recognition of safe behavior, and on-site project specific to safety committees to empower site staff to take safety seriously, among other distinctions.
