Leadership in Safety Awards are presented annually to celebrate safety achievements in industry. Nominations are invited by anyone in industry, who knows someone – an individual, crew, team, division, contractor, company, supplier, consultant, trainer, etc. – that deserves to be recognized for outstanding safety achievements. Something that has made, or continues to make, a difference in supporting our shared goals as an industry to see every worker return home safely at the end of each work day.
This special award is presented to an individual who, through a long career in the forest industry has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to improving safety awareness, expanding safety knowledge, developing safety skills at ground level and building a lasting culture of safety among BC’s forest workers.
This individual is known for being a “teacher” of safety, a trainer, an instructor, a mentor – someone who goes the extra mile to help others reach their safety goals with a helping hand, proven experience and knowledge.
Nominations are invited from both the harvesting and manufacturing sectors, with up to two individual awards available to be presented.
