safety innvoation awards

PCA’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee looks for examples of how the cement industry is making its plants safer places to work. The goals of the awards are:

  • To honor innovative practices, programs, and projects throughout the industry.
  • To communicate these ideas to members of the North American cement industry.
  • To raise the profile and importance of safety programs both inside and outside the industry.

In 2006, fifty-six entries were judged by members of the committee along with a representative of MSHA and a member of the PCA Board of Directors. Winners in four categories— Quarry, Milling/Grinding, Pyroprocessing, and General Facility—received a monetary gift towards a “Celebration for Safety.” These awards are co-sponsored by the Portland Cement Association and the Cement Association of Canada.
