The award winners come from diverse workplaces and industries, and include businesses, front-line workers, safety and health professionals, and managers and leaders.
"Two of the goals of The Safetys is to show that safety and health in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, and anyone can play a part in making their workplace safer and healthier," said Laura La Palme, chair of The Safetys planning committee. "We want to bring Manitoba's business community together in support of putting workplace safety at the forefront of every business decision. Our award winners today show that this can be done to the benefit of everyone in the workplace."
