What is the Sunshine State Safety Recognition Award?
The Sunshine State Safety Recognition Award is awarded to projects by the USF Safety Florida Consultation Service, an outreach center of OSHA. This award represents a participating company’s commitment to safety.
To qualify, the construction company should have no willful, repeat or willful-repeat citations within 24 months of the consultation and no serious citations related to injury or exposure within 12 months of the consultation. A comprehensive inspection of the site and safety documents is conducted and workers are interviewed to assess their safety knowledge. The on-site evaluation process reviews:
- Administration and oversight of safety management programs
- Safety and health management practices
- Safety training and instruction
- Employee safety rules
- Internal safety inspection routines for new and existing substances, processes and equipment
If the evaluation determines there is an outstanding safety program, the Sunshine State Safety Recognition Award is presented. This is a prestigious and much sought after recognition.
