Twenty-eight southeastern Wisconsin companies are among 115 nominated statewide in the 9th annual Wisconsin Corporate Safety Awards competition. Winners will be announced at an April 28 banquet which is part of the Safety & Health Congress in Madison, presented by the Wisconsin Council of Safety.
"Wisconsin companies recognize the importance of a proactive safety culture," said Bryan Roessler, WCS director. "Safety is a key to their success and impacts the bottom-line, making them more competitive and profitable."
Wisconsin Corporate Safety Award finalists must submit information regarding their organizations’ safety and health procedures, policies and accomplishments. An independent panel of judges, including leaders in business, health and safety evaluates the nominations.
The awards will be presented in 16 categories based on employment size and type of business, as defined by SIC code. Nominees must be headquartered in Wisconsin, or have significant Wisconsin management presence.
The Safety & Health Congress and Exposition runs April 28-30. Information on the event is available online at www.wischamberfoundation.org.
