Safety Champion of the Year Award ($1000)

Category Details

Safety is as critical to a successful project as materials or labor. While the vast majority of people always make safety a priority when they are working, we all know those people that take work site safety to a new level. That individual isn't always employed as a “Safety Officer”, but they are completely dedicated to ensuring everyone returns home at the end of the day. The successful nominee will not only have an exemplary safety record, they will have a history of improving their knowledge of work site safety and of encouraging others to work safely every day. It's their goal to always make work a safer place for everyone.

Nominee must be employed by a MERIT Saskatchewan member or MERIT Saskatchewan associate member.
