Te prestigious annual awards event was held on October 8, 2026 at the Grand Hyatt


Indian Wells in conjunction with CONSTRUCT 2026, AGC of California’s annual net- working and professional development conference. Te CSEA luncheon drew several hundred construction executives, safety professionals, and student chapter members to honor leading California construction companies and individuals for safety excellence. AGC of California President-Elect Allison Otto, Otto Construction, helped kick off the safety awards and welcomed attendees while offering a few comments on safety in the industry. “In construction, safety is at the heart of every successful project. It’s built into the


way we plan, the way we work, and the way we look out for one another each day,” Otto commented. “At the end of the day, our greatest responsibility is simple: to make sure every person who steps onto a job site has the support, resources, and environment they need to return home safely. “AGC of California and our member companies continue to lead important conver-


sations around what it truly means to create a safe workplace,” Otto continued. “Tat means protecting our workforce physically, but it also means supporting their mental and emotional well-being. Over the past several years, AGC of California has continued to expand its efforts around mental health awareness, providing resources, education, and opportunities for our industry to have conversations that haven’t always been easy
