• ASA SAFETY AWARD: Safety performance can be measured in numerous ways (number of injuries, number of reported near hits, training hours, etc.). However, a widely accepted measurement is a company’s injury rate calculated by: (# of injuries and illness x 200,000) / Employee hours worked = Incidence Rate. Additionally, the size of the business should also be considered and is defined as: Large Businesses – > 500,000 hours worked in a calendar year, Medium Businesses – 100,000-499,000 hours in a calendar year, Small Business = < 99,999 hours worked in a calendar year.

THE NOMINATION AND VOTING PROCESS:

All ASA member companies are eligible to nominate candidates in all categories. You are encouraged to submit three candidates in each of the eight categories, but you may submit fewer if you so choose. There is one vote per company.

When nominations have closed, the top three most-named candidates in each category will be listed on a final ballot. All ASA member companies will be eligible to vote for their favorite candidate in each category.

ANNUAL INSTALLATION AND AWARDS BANQUET:

Once the winners are selected, they are honored at an ASA Awards & Installation Banquet. This is a very special evening, not just for our winners, but for all attendees. This year’s banquet will take place at Humphrey’s by the Bay, on July 28, 2023, cocktail attire. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
