Annual Safety Innovation and Improvement Award

Safety starts with the culture of an organization and is an ongoing journey that never ends. It takes perseverance, employee buy-in from the top down and bottom up, as well as continuous improvement from the entire organization to ensure that every metals industry employee arrives home from work exactly as they left. The MSCI Safety Innovation and Culture Improvement Award will recognize and acknowledge metals organizations that seek new and innovative approaches in their efforts to drive safety improvement towards a zero-harm environment.

In the interest of engagement and driving recognition of our members’ efforts, MSCI is pleased to announce expansion of the award program.  Beginning in 2021, members may submit award nominations in either or both of the following two distinct categories.

Safety Innovation Award:

Across the industry, the best and brightest are engaging their minds around how to make each process or work practice safer.  Has your workplace developed a best practice?  How about a new gadget that keeps your employees out of harms way? Or, maybe you have implemented a tool, process, or device that has dramatically reduced occupational risk or exposure.  We want to hear about it, and we want you to have a platform to share it with the industry so we can all benefit.  Entries to this award can be from Management, Supervisory, or even better yet, Front-Line Workers.  Drive deeper engagement with your teams by getting them the recognition they deserve when they think outside the box and improve the working environment.

Culture Improvement Award:

We would all say, “we want to improve our safety culture.”  However, if you have tried it, you know it is much easier to say than to accomplish.  It takes hard work, dedication, and a consistent commitment to effort over the long haul.  Have you had success with your culture?  Maybe you have implemented a new initiative that has really engaged your team.  Or, have you participated in something extraordinary to educate your team and can now demonstrate results.  We would love to hear about it.

To qualify, describe your approach following the details in the application, and submit your application to Briana Dee at bdee@msci.org.  Contact Briana at the email provided or (847) 485-3021 with questions.
