Learn MoreSaftey Leader Award
In an attempt to foster and promote a positive safety culture within the province’s workplaces, the Newfoundland & Labrador Occupational Health & Safety Association has developed an annual Safety Leader Award. The award has been in existence since 2017.
A Safety Leader consistently demonstrates a passion for safety and health and promotes safe working practices and safe behaviors in all that they do. Making the right choice for the right reason (safety) thus preventing injury and illness is what sets a Safety Leader apart from others. A Safety Leader continually demonstrates the value of working safely and conducts work safely and assists others to do the same. By taking the time to effectively plan and schedule work tasks, jobs, projects, etc. and ensuring safety is “the priority”, a Safety Leader adds value and pride to any organization or group.
Mission & Vision
The Newfoundland & Labrador Occupational Health & Safety Association is the leading employer organization promoting and representing occupational health and safety matters to both employers and their employees in all industries throughout the province. Leadership in occupational health and safety will be accomplished by: professional development of members; liaison and cooperation with other occupational health and safety groups and government agencies; the collection and sharing of information with relevant stakeholders, including Occupational Health and Safety Committees and any activities to promote and assist in occupational health and safety.
