As of June 2016, Lewis & Tibbitts Inc. is a Gold Shovel Standard Certified contractor. This is a safety certification and rating system for companies that perform excavation work. Gold Shovel Standard (GSS) aims to be a universally accepted, widely adopted, and ultimately legislatively mandated standard, which, within 3 years, reduces dig-ins from professional excavators by 50%. It’s a first of its kind effort to create a North American scale program, driven by industry and underpinned by data technology, to unify excavation safety under a single broadly meaningful professional brand, that raises the bar for excavators. By monitoring the performance of individual excavators across networks and geographies, GSS will be the first system capable of targeting incentives (positive and negative) directly at specific excavation companies on a national scale.
