The AEU Safety Awards program recognizes the strongest safety programs in the maritime industry

HOUSTON (May 8, 2025) – BWC Terminals (BWC) today announced that it has been awarded a 2024 AEU Safety Award for the company’s strong commitment to safety in the workplace.

The American Equity Underwriters, Inc., the leading provider of workers’ compensation for waterfront employers, presents the AEU Safety Awards each year to its best-performing members nationwide.

BWC’s Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) policy is fundamental to the sustainability of the company’s operations. Its systems, policies, and procedures address both routine and emergency situations to effectively manage risks, threats, and incidents. Safety is integrated into the company culture through ongoing training and the empowerment of employees, and it is reinforced by management to achieve industry-leading results.

“We are incredibly honored to receive the 2024 AEU Safety Award. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to creating a safe working environment for all our employees and key stakeholders,” said Adam Smith, president and CEO, BWC Terminals. “Safety is not just a priority; it is a core value at BWC Terminals. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we will continue to foster a culture of safety in everything we do.”

Eligibility for the awards is based on the frequency and severity of workers’ compensation incidents for the prior calendar year, as well as safety-related metrics determined by AEU’s loss control team.

“This year’s winners truly are the safest in the industry,” said Jimmy Burgin, senior vice president and director of loss control at AEU. “The commitment of their management teams, supervisors, safety staff, and employees all combine to create safety programs that are worthy of this recognition.”
