The Air Conditioning Contactors of America is seeking nominees for its 2014 Safety Excellence Award.

The award, which is sponsored by Federated Insurance, recognizes members in three size categories that have made substantial commitments to safe operations.

“Many ACCA member companies are investing their time and money in safety programs to ensure that their team members have safe and healthy work environments," said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA president and CEO. "We are recognizing these companies, because they are setting an example of how all contractors should run their businesses, because it not only creates a better work environment, but also saves the company money in reduced insurance premiums and accident costs. We are thankful our partners at Federated Insurance are supporting ACCA in recognizing these contractors by sponsoring this award."

Applications are due April 30. To enter, visit www.acca.org/issues/safety/. Winners will be announced by July 31.
