The annual ASA Safety Award, sponsored by the ASA Safety Committee, recognizes ASA members that have shown they have gone above and beyond in the area of worker safety. Each year, the ASA Safety Committee recognizes three wholesaler/distributor member companies and three manufacturing member companies for their high level of worker safety. The applications for the 2021 reporting year are now being accepted, and members can apply for the ASA Safety Award by completing the application form which is available at www.asa.net/Safety/Safety-Award. The deadline for submittal is Sept. 1.
The ASA Safety Committee selects the recipients of the award based on the results of the company’s previous year’s total case incident rate (TCIR) as reported on OSHA form 300A, Summary of Work Related Injuries and Illnesses. Up to six (6) Safety Awards are issued, three (3) to ASA Distributor members and three (3) to ASA Vendor members. The
Distributor and Vendor member’s applications are divided up into 3 size categories based on the total number of person-hours worked in 2020.
