Two-time recognition places Signal among the top 5% of qualifying organizations for safety performance.
Signal Restoration has once again been recognized among the nation’s leaders in workplace safety, earning the 2026 National Safety Council (NSC) Industry Leader Award.
The Industry Leader Award recognizes the top 5% of NSC member companies that qualified for the 2026 Occupational Excellence Achievement Award. Signal is one of just 26 organizations to receive the distinction this year — and the only restoration company among the award recipients.
This is Signal’s second Industry Leader Award, following its previous recognition in 2024.
“This recognition reflects the ownership and accountability our teams bring to every project. Safety is a responsibility we all share, and earning this award for a second time is something our entire team can be proud of. It also motivates us to continue setting a higher standard.”
— Barry Rice, EHS Director
Recognition Backed by Safety Performance
Earning the Industry Leader Award begins with qualifying for the NSC Occupational Excellence Achievement Award, which recognizes organizations whose injury and illness records are better than or equal to 50% of the Bureau of Labor Statistics rating for their six-digit NAICS code.
From those qualifying organizations, Industry Leader Award recipients are selected based on industry classification, lowest total incidence rate, and employee work hours.
For Signal, being ranked among the top 5% reflects a safety record built over years of consistent performance:
These numbers matter well beyond recognition. Strong safety performance can help reduce jobsite risk, protect employees and building occupants, prevent injury-related schedule delays, and keep restoration projects moving forward.
Protecting Our People. Reducing Your Risk.
When Signal works safely, we’re not only protecting our people — we’re helping protect our clients, their properties and building occupants while minimizing the risks that can come with complex restoration work.
That commitment starts well before work begins and continues throughout every project. Signal’s EHS program includes regular employee training, accredited safety professionals, proactive planning and jobsite safety practices designed to identify and mitigate potential risks.
Field employees hold multiple safety certifications, and Signal has an on-staff Certified Safety Professional and Certified Occupational Safety Specialist. On large projects, on-site safety supervision provides another layer of oversight to help ensure work is performed safely and in accordance with established standards.
For our clients, that higher standard can mean less exposure to hazardous conditions, reduced potential for property damage and fewer safety-related disruptions and delays. By making safety fundamental to how we work, we help minimize risk while keeping restoration projects moving forward.
Setting a Higher Standard for Safety
Disaster restoration often takes place in complex, unpredictable environments where conditions can change quickly. Maintaining strong safety standards in those environments requires planning, training and a shared commitment from teams across the organization.
Receiving the National Safety Council Industry Leader Award for the second time is an important recognition of that commitment — and of the people who put it into practice every day, on every job.
We’re proud to once again be recognized among the nation’s leaders in safety. Even more, we’re proud of the people and safety culture behind it.
