W.O. Grubb Crane Rental is honored to once again be recognized with the Platinum Safety Award from Highwire, a leading Contractor Success platform serving capital project owners and builders. The Platinum designation is awarded to companies that achieve a 95–100 score on Highwire’s comprehensive Safety Assessment, placing W.O. Grubb among an elite group demonstrating exceptional safety performance and management systems.

Highwire’s Safety Assessment Program evaluates both historic safety results and current safety practices, normalizing data based on company size and the type of work performed. This rigorous, data-driven process provides an objective measure of how effectively contractors manage risk today—and how well positioned they are for safe performance in the future. Earning Platinum status signals a deep, organization-wide commitment to protecting people, projects, and partners.

“At W.O. Grubb, safety is embedded in how we operate—not something we focus on only when a job begins,” said James Herndon, Director of Corporate Safety. “Our teams put an incredible amount of effort into planning, training, and continuous improvement. Receiving the Platinum Safety Award again is meaningful because it reflects both the consistency and maturity of our safety culture.”

The Highwire assessment reviews key indicators such as incident history, training programs, safety leadership involvement, and the strength of safety management systems. By normalizing results across similar contractors, the program allows clients to more accurately identify and manage risk while gaining confidence in contractor performance.

For W.O. Grubb, safety excellence goes hand-in-hand with operational excellence. As a trusted provider of crane rental, rigging, and comprehensive lift solutions, the company is known for executing complex and demanding lifts with precision—never at the expense of safety.

This recognition reinforces what clients, partners, and crews already know: safety is not a policy at W.O. Grubb—it’s a core value. From the field to the office, the company remains committed to raising industry standards, investing in its people, and ensuring that every job is completed with care, accountability, and respect for those on site.
