" The effort and commitment the PRG Group has demonstrated is courageous and exciting… Safety needs to be a priority and a commitment in the construction industry, and it is very difficult to change the culture within an organization/industry, unless having 100% dedication, effort, and continuously improving safety awareness to all parties involved on a project. Based on several data factors, programs, leading by example, and leadership support, PRG Group has demonstrated that Safety is a priority within their organization and will continue to improve and bring a strong Safety Culture to their projects.
