The I3A Safety Excellence Award Program
The Safety Excellence Awards program was established to recognize occupational and health activities among the Association’s member companies. The awards, which are presented each year at the I3A Annual Conference, are given to I3A company sites that demonstrate the highest levels of safety performance and leadership. The major purpose of the awards is to assist member companies in bringing about sustainable improvement in all areas of health and safety in the workplace.
The "Best in Class" awards recognize the companies with the safest workplaces, as determined by injury and illness case rates for the year, in four different areas: manufacturing, warehousing, R&D/administrative, and photo finishing. The company in each category that meets all the I3A Safety Excellence Award Program criteria and has the lowest OSHA Recordable Incidence (ORI) with the most hours worked during the calendar year is recognized as being best in its class among I3A member companies.
