MIAMI – Poole & Kent Co. of Florida was recently presented the 1st Place Excellence in Safety Award from The Mechanical Contractors Association of South Florida for exemplary safety practices and performance in the 50,001 to 150,000 man-hour worked category; P&K had zero recordable injuries and zero days away from work in 2012. This is the second 1st place safety award P&K has received from MCASF in the last three years.
