For 11 years now, the annual Canada’s Safest Employers Awards (CSEAs) has been recognized as the leading independent awards program in the occupational health and safety profession.
The awards recognize the outstanding health and safety professionals and companies for their achievements, leadership and innovation over the past 12 months.
Finalists will be announced in Canadian Occupational Safety (COS) magazine and online channels in July. Winners will be revealed at the celebratory awards show on October 21, 2021 and profiled in Canadian Occupational Safety magazine.
The CSEAs is presented by Canadian Occupational Safety (COS), the resource of choice for the country's most forward-thinking occupational health and safety professionals.
