Applications will be evaluated by members of the American Society of Safety Engineers and the Indiana Department of Labor’s INSafe consultation division.

The Everyday Safety Hero (ESH) award provides Hoosier employers with the opportunity to nominate an individual who has championed workplace safety and health excellence in their respective workplace. The nominee is not required to be a safety or health professional. Rather, this award was developed to acknowledge and recognize the contributions, participation, and impact that a front-line employee plays in Hoosier workplace safety and health excellence.

The awards ceremonies take place at the Indiana Safety and Health Conference & Expo.

The Governor’s Workplace Safety Awards are a result of a partnership between the Indiana Department of Labor, on behalf of Governor Eric J. Holcomb, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the Central Indiana Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers.
