The annual Safetys awards gala is held each year to celebrate organizations and individuals who are helping to make our workplaces safer and healthier. Now in its seventh year, The Safetys, which is co-hosted by Manitoba safety organizations, took place on November 1 at the Victoria Inn Hotel & Convention Centre.
Each year, SAFE Work Manitoba presents a SAFE Work Award to a Manitoba worker, workplace safety and health committee, and workplace to recognize their commitment to health and safety. SAFE Work Manitoba is proud to announce the following winners of this year’s SAFE Work Awards:
Two Manitoba high school students were also recognized for their video project that educates their peers about the importance of safety culture. Erin Tierney and Laura Gross from Sisler High School won first place in SAFE Work Manitoba’s Norm the Safety Contest: Make Safety the Norm! for their video It All Adds Up.
“I’d like to congratulate all of this year’s winners and thank them for their contributions to help make our workplaces safer,” says Dave Kramer, Vice President of SAFE Work Manitoba. “It’s because of their efforts that we are strengthening the culture of safety both within our industries and throughout our province.”
