Safety From the Start

a Focus of Safety for Generations

This year, Performance Contractors' annual kids drawing competition, Safety From the Start, was more than a success. As a way to build a foundation of safety for tomorrow's generation, we asked our employees' children to depict what safety means to them in the form of artwork.

The public voted on more than 35 entries across four age groups and the winning drawing from each group will have their art displayed on Performance Contractors' job site banners throughout the year. We’ll be showcasing them here over the course of 2022, as well as eight runner-ups. Congrats to all our winners!
