- Group D = 38,001 to 70,000 man-hours

The winner of each group will be calculated based on total man-hours worked and the number of recordable injury or illness cases from January 1 to December 31 of the 2020 calendar year.

If two or more contestants have equal incidence rates, they will each be presented with an award.
