What are the Safest Roofing Facilities Across North America?
ARMA honors asphalt roofing facilities across North America for workplace safety.

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association announced its annual Accident Prevention Contest winners, recognizing more than 60 asphalt roofing manufacturing facilities throughout North America for their workplace safety records, particularly their low incident rates among workers.
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) completed its annual Accident Prevention Contest and recognizes 82 asphalt roofing manufacturing facilities for their workplace safety, specifically low incident rates among workers.
Facilities that entered the 2025 Accident Prevention Contest were judged based on ARMA criteria derived from the standards set by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This information is gathered through quarterly safety data reports from the past calendar year.
“We are proud of the commitment that ARMA members have to a safe work environment for all employees,” said ARMA’s Executive Vice President Reed Hitchcock. “These facilities continue to maintain high standards in plant health and safety.”
Every year, ARMA’s manufacturer members are invited to participate in the Accident Prevention Contest by submitting data from their entire company, a specific division, or an individual plant or mill in North America. Winners are honored in four different categories with a “perfect” score, meaning that zero safety incidents were recorded.
