Meeting last week in Houston alongside the SMA Human Resources Committee, the SMA Safety Committee recognized 28 steelmaking facilities that had no lost-time injuries in 2025.

Facilities from seven companies were honored: CMC, Gerdau North America, Ivaco Rolling Mills, Nucor Corporation, SSAB Americas, Steel Dynamics, and Vallourec North America.

SMA Vice Chairman at Large Robert Simon (CEO of JSW Steel USA) and SMA Safety Committee Chairman Timothy Smith (Gerdau North America) presented the awards to company representatives. The reception was sponsored by SMA associate member Danieli.

The awards acknowledge the safety achievements made by American steelmakers and underscore their commitment to keeping everyone safe at work.
