Hoffman Building Technologies is proud to announce that we have received the 2026 Highwire Gold Safety Award. This marks the fourth consecutive year HBT has earned the recognition, following awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The award reflects the work our technicians, project teams, service teams, and safety leaders put into planning work carefully, using the right equipment, following established procedures, and looking out for one another every day.
Highwire presents its Gold Safety Award to contractors that earn a Safety Score between 85 and 94 in its Safety Assessment Program. The assessment considers historic safety performance and current safety management systems, giving clients a more consistent way to evaluate contractor risk. Highwire’s Gold Safety Award criteria supports the same 85 to 94 scoring range.
Safety is part of every job
At HBT, safety starts before a technician arrives on site. It is part of how we prepare for work, evaluate conditions, communicate with customers, and complete projects across building automation, systems integration, and critical environments.
Our teams work in active facilities where details matter. That includes healthcare facilities, laboratories, data centers, educational campuses, office buildings, industrial sites, and other complex environments. Every job requires attention to the people on site, the equipment being serviced, and the facility operations that need to continue without disruption.
Our commitment to safety helps us protect the people who do the work, the customers who trust us, and the facilities we support.
Four years of consistent safety performance
Earning the Highwire Gold Safety Award once is meaningful. Earning it four years in a row reflects the consistency of HBT’s safety culture.
Safety performance comes from regular training, clear procedures, proper tools and personal protective equipment, and employees who speak up when something does not look right. It also requires continuous improvement. Field conditions, project scopes, and equipment change. Our safety practices must continue to improve with them.This recognition belongs to every HBT employee who takes the time to prepare, follow procedures, identify hazards, and support teammates in the field.
What this means for HBT customers
Customers need contractors who can deliver technical work safely and responsibly. Whether we are designing a building automation system, connecting complex platforms through systems integration, or supporting critical facility operations, safety is part of the work from start to finish. Our fourth consecutive Highwire Gold Safety Award gives customers another reason to feel confident in the HBT teams working in their facilities. It reflects a company that takes risk management seriously and continues to invest in the people, processes, and training behind every project.
