BEST IN SAFETY 2023
BEST IN SAFETY 2023 Recognizing the safety professionals and companies across Canada who have excelled and raised the bar ALL THROUGHOUT 2023, Key Media’s 30-strong Intelligence Unit researched and produced a series of Special Reports, each showcasing the top-performing safety professionals and companies across a number of important professional categories. All of our 172 published reports over the past 12 months have already attracted 2.4 million online pageviews, as we’ve crowned 5,044 deserving winners globally. In the process, 14,000 readers across Canada have been sent our surveys. The culmination of all that extensive reporting is our annual Best in Safety digital edition. The Best in Safety recognizes the safety award winners from 2023’s Special Reports and features a combined 353 individuals and companies from the sector. This prestigious list provides a definitive
annual collection of those who have delivered outstanding results, introduced new initiatives, refined existing working practices, and also acted as a source of inspiration to colleagues. Winner of Canada’s Top Women in Safety, Jacquelyn Oduro, says, “Achieving the recognition was a proud moment for me and the Sales & Service Safety Association (S2SA). This award goes beyond acknowledging my 15 years in this field; it’s a stepping stone toward the future. It’s not just a personal achievement but a reflection of the collaborative efforts of the entire S2SA team who prioritize workplace safety and wellbeing.” While Canadian Safety Group’s Sarah Wilson adds, “We here at CSG are reflecting on our 2023 safety awards with pride and excitement. As we step into 2024, our wish is for continued enhancement of worker safety, innovation in training
delivery, and surpassing even our own expectations.” This annual guide was curated and published by Canadian Occupational Safety. We also thank all the following industry bodies for their help with our reports: • Canada Safety Council • Women in Occupational Health & Safety Society • Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC • Workplace Safety North • Wellness Works Canada • The Canadian Institute of Workplace Bullying Resources Below is the Best in Safety. We hope you enjoy discovering those who we believe are shining brightest and building a better future for the safety industry.
