2019 Special Project Award

Recognizing Excellence among OHS Professionals begins with You! The Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE) is made up of over 3,500 dedicated members who commit their days (and in many cases …nights) to the protection of millions of Canadian workers. The CSSE Recognizing Excellence Awards program provides a framework to pay special recognition to the extraordinary efforts and achievements of CSSE members.

The Special Project Award is presented to a group for an initiative that advances the profession, provides research and development opportunities, or promotes Health & Safety to the OH&S Community, employers and/or the community at large. These are awarded at the level (Chapter, Regional or National) according to the sphere of influence of the Special Project.

You may wish to view our guideline prior to proceeding, as it outlines all the information required for the nomination submission.
