GreenWood, Inc. has once again been recognized with the McGriff Workplace Safety Excellence Award for its outstanding safety performance across the organization. The award is presented to companies that demonstrate exceptional overall safety results, as measured by key performance indicators including workers’ compensation policy loss ratio, workers’ compensation experience modification rate (EMR), and BLS/DART/OSHA recordable incident rates.

This marks the 16th consecutive year GreenWood has received the award—an achievement that underscores the company’s long-standing commitment to maintaining a strong safety culture and protecting the well-being of its workforce. GreenWood stands alone as the only company to have achieved this distinction for 16 consecutive years.

“We are proud to recognize GreenWood for this remarkable achievement,” said Warren Blanchard, McGriff Insurance Services. “Earning this award year after year reflects a deeply rooted commitment to workplace safety and a company-wide focus on protecting employees at every level of the organization. GreenWood has set a standard for sustained safety excellence.”

GreenWood’s safety performance is driven by a proactive, company-wide approach that emphasizes accountability, awareness, and continuous improvement in the field and across all operations.

“At GreenWood, safety is more than a metric—it is a core value that guides every job, every task, and every decision we make,” said Mike Simmons, Director of Safety for GreenWood. “Receiving this recognition each year is a testament to the dedication of our employees and the strength of our ‘Always Aware’ safety culture. Our priority is, and always will be, ensuring every employee is always safe.”

We are pleased to announce that we have earned the McGriff Workplace Safety Excellence Award for achieving excellence in safety performance throughout the company. This prestigious award recognizes only those companies who achieve outstanding overall safety performance based on workers’ compensation policy loss ratio, workers’ compensation experience modification (EMR), and BLS/DART/OSHA recordable incident rate. GreenWood is the only company to achieve this level of recognition for a 15th consecutive year.

“We are proud to recognize GreenWood for this unprecedented achievement,” says Warren Blanchard of McGriff Insurance Services. “This award reflects the company’s commitment to safety and the well-being of their employees. Every year, GreenWood earns this award for consistently achieving impressive results.”

Mike Simmons, GreenWood’s Director of Safety, adds, “Our daily goal is to work safely without any occurrences. Through our company-wide ‘always aware’ safety program, we ensure that every task is performed safely for the protection of our employees. That’s our number one priority at all times.”
