Descriptions of MICCS Safety Awards

Excellence in Safety Award

The “Excellence in Safety” Award is the highest honor that MICCS can bestow upon a company – it is otherwise known as the “Crystal Eagle” Award. Companies vie in categories with their peers (electrical, mechanical, owner, design professional, general contractors (2 categories depending upon annual volume), specialty contractor, CM/Developer). The winner of each category is then in contention for the “Crystal Eagle” traveling trophy valued at over $5,000.

Burnie McGinnis Award

The Burnie McGinnis Award is presented to a person rather than a company. It is the most prestigious award presented to a person by MICCS. It is named after the father of Hoosier basketball legend and MICCS supporter George McGinnis. Because the award is so prestigious, it is not awarded every year. The award is given to a person whose specific acts or a pattern of acts has made an impact on a job site or a safety program.
