(Newswire.net — December 12, 2014) Bryan, TEXAS — One of the most trusted mechanical contractors in Texas, Garrett Mechanical, Inc has been awarded the Texas Mutual Insurance safety trophy for 2014. The award recognizes companies that provide the resources to protect their staff against workplace hazards. An outstanding safety record is an absolute must for any business to be considered. GMI is one of only 200 businesses this year to receive the award, out of 60,000 Texas Mutual policyholders across the entire state.
The insurance provider considers several factors in determining the companies awarded. These variables include the losses claimed by a business and also its premium size, in addition to the record of actual safety incidents or lack thereof. The insurer is also committed to preventing accidents. It has reduced claim costs for employers who are extremely safety conscious. Companies that focus on keeping employees alert, especially if they operate heavy and dangerous equipment, are closely monitored for safety.
In addition to ensuring the safety of its own workforce, GMI employs techniques and technologies to ensure the safety of it contracting work. This includes plumbing, HVAC, piping, and sheet metal projects completed in all industrial and commercial facilities served. Contract work from parking lots to handrail ramps is performed to the strictest safety standards. The company has demonstrated this on small and even large, prestigious projects such as the University of Texas Health Science Center and George Bush Presidential Library.

As a leading Texas contractor, we understand how important safe construction is.
