Nominate a Colleague for an OSHA Award!

Any member or non-member of the association may submit a nomination for OSHA awards. All nominees for OSHA awards must be members of OSHA with the exception of agencies or organizations recognized with Honors of the Association or Distinguished Service. Nominations should not be made known to the nominee prior to their selection. With exception to the student scholarship and President’s award, to be elected, the nominee must have participated in the profession for no less than five years and have made an outstanding contribution as defined by the award for which they are nominated. No member may participate as sponsor and/or cosponsor for more than one nominee in any calendar year. All submissions will be reviewed and determined by an affirmative vote of four members of the Nomination and Honors Committee comprised of regional representatives, past honorees and past presidents of the association.
