LVC Companies’ industry-leading workplace health and safety efforts have again been recognized with the Minnesota Safety Council’s Governor’s Workplace Safety Award.
This marks the 15th time since 2007 that LVC has earned this prestigious honor and reflects LVC’s excellence in occupational injury prevention throughout 2024. The award will officially be presented during the 2025 Minnesota Safety and Health Conference May 5-6.
“Keeping the people we work and live with safe is a full-time job,” said Paul Aasen, CEO of the Minnesota Safety Council. “Congratulations to LVC Companies for investing the time and energy to make work and life safer inside their organization and beyond.”
Since 1934, the annual Governor’s Safety Awards program has honored Minnesota employers with exceptional safety performance. Applicants are judged on several years of injury data as it compares with their industry’s national and state statistics, and on their progress in implementing a comprehensive safety program.
“Ensuring the safety of LVC employees, customers, and other workers on our jobsites is a top priority,” said LVC President and CEO Bert Bongard. “Our Safety Committee, management, and field staff work together to strengthen LVC’s safety culture and maintain safe work environments to make sure everyone returns home at the end of their shift.”
LVC’s industry-acclaimed safety training regimen includes OSHA and industry partner safety training programs, an automated online safety education platform, OSHA-approved AWAIR program, and weekly Toolbox Talks. In addition to the Minnesota Governor’s Safety Award, LVC has been recognized with the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Safety Excellence Award and NECA Zero Injury Award.
LVC also annually celebrates and participates in Construction Safety Week. LVC’s Safety Committee prepares a full agenda of safety-related content and activities including a series of safety videos, a safety quiz, family activities, and more.
Headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, with a national security division and regional offices in northern and southeast Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and Phoenix, Arizona, LVC Companies is a full-service technology provider.
The company’s diverse offerings include fire protection such as pre-engineered fire suppression and fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms and life safety, security systems, structured cabling, and communications systems.
The Minnesota Safety Council, founded in 1928, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Minnesota by preventing unintentional injuries on the road, at work, at home, and in the community.
