Nominations are now open for 2023 OHS Honours,
OHS Honours is back, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever for 2023. Nominations are now open and, as always, there is no nomination fee to participate.
This is the third year for the program, from the publishers of OHS Canada, which attracted a record number of nominations in 2022. For 2023, there is a mix of individual and team awards up for grabs.
And it all culminates in a gala celebration on Sept. 21, 2023, at the Palais Royale on Toronto’s waterfront.
“This is one of our favourite initiatives every year. It gives us the chance to tell the stories, in-depth, of some of the best occupational health and safety practices in the country,” said Todd Humber, senior editor for OHS Canada. “It’s always encouraging to see the amazing work done by safety professionals.”
Team award winners last year included the likes of Air Canada, Linamar, City of Surrey, McKinnon & Olding, Compass Group Canada and the BC Municipal Safety Association and more.
Individual award winners included professionals from Enbridge, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services, Auspice Safety, GFL, Purolator, Stellantis, McMastter University, Ledcor, the Canadian Red Cross and more.
