The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is seeking nominations for the Excellence in Safety Award.

This year our college has the opportunity to select two recipients if qualified nominations are received. They will be honored during a CALS Awards for Excellence recognition luncheon in April.

Each recipient will receive a $250 check and a plaque.

With all the construction that is happening on campus close to or within our buildings, the activity in our labs and fields or in your office environment, there must be someone that is constantly vigil for your safety. Nominate that person. It could save your life!

The Safety Committee will be awarding two people with this special award. In turn, those 2 winners will receive $250 and a plaque presented at a luncheon in April. The nominee along with the award winner will have the opportunity to attend the special lunch.

Qualifications:

– Demonstrated safety leadership
– Creative response to a workplace hazard
– Appropriate safety and hazard prevention orientation and ongoing training
– Documentation and training of all individuals within group (for example, an individual who takes responsibility for training on a piece of equipment for each individual who needs to use that equipment)
– Maintenance of workplace safety program through time (as personnel change)
– A former award recipient may NOT be nominated again if in the same position/duties when the award was received.
Past and/or present safety committee members are not eligible for awards.

Nomination Package:

– 2019 CALS Excellence In Safety Award Nomination (including supervisor and department head signature);
– Typed recommendation (no more than two pages)
– Submit to cmello@ncsu.edu by March 12 by 5 p.m.

During this nomination process, we would like to encourage everyone to submit nominations of our many deserving employees. We have many deserving and dedicated employees that are worthy of nominating!
