Adesta's safety director, Denny Teymer, accepted the award on behalf of Adesta for seven consecutive years
of outstanding occupational safety and health program results and achievements. The award was presented on May 13, 2009 during the Greater Omaha Chapter of the
National Safety Council Annual Awards Luncheon. This took place as part of the Safety and Health Summit and Tradeshow at the Qwest Center, Omaha. Adesta has
received the National Safety Council's Award of Honor with Distinction in 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, Gold Award of Honor in 2005, Silver Award of Honor in 2004 and Bronze Award of Honor in 2003.

The Occupational Safety and Health Awards Recognition Program was established by the National Safety Council in 1984 to encourage and recognize excellence in accident prevention and loss control programs. To be considered for an award, a company must have an incident rate and lost work day case rate the same or better than the latest available industry average for their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) as recorded by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Estimates of Occupational Injury and Illness Incidence Rates. All companies considered for award recognition must have a written injury/illness prevention plan or equivalent.

Bob Sommerfeld, president of Adesta, had this to say. "Safety is a key element to the success of any project. It is our number one priority at Adesta. We are very stringent when it comes to our safety beliefs, and this acknowledgement is a testament to that. We appreciate being honored by the National Safety Council. It means a great deal to our company."
