CONSTRUCTING SAFETY LEADERSHIP AWARDS
Each year, the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association (SCSA) acknowledges individuals, companies, and committees throughout Saskatchewan for efforts made to promote the SCSA's mission and vision.

For the first time in SCSA history, our independent panel of judges declared a tie in the Corporate Leadership in Safety Category.

The Corporate Leadership in Safety Award winners are Triple A Directional Drilling, Westridge Construction (Colin Olfert) and Abco Elevator.

The winner of the Safety Leader Award is Corey Johnson of Flyer Electric. And winning the Safety Practitioner Award, also from Flyer Electric, is Danni Kohl.

The Winner of the Regional Safety Committee Distinguished Progress Award is the Saskatoon Regional Safety Committee.
The SCSA also surprised all the award winners with the announcement. The short video above is their reactions to the news.

WINTER IS HERE
It's that time of the year where the temperature drops and ice and snow wreak havoc on Saskatchewan construction sites. Make sure you are prepared and taking the necessary precautions. Using proper winter PPE, watching your step on ice and snow, as well as care and attention on the roads, can go a long way in helping you keep safe. The SCSA can help you prepare with several additional resources:
The construction industry funds the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association (SCSA) to provide cost-effective, accessible safety training and advice.  The SCSA aims to reduce the human and financial cost of injuries.  Registered March 22, 1995, the SCSA is, since inception, committed to injury prevention. Today the SCSA serves almost 10,000 member companies.  

The vision of the SCSA is to create the Safest Construction Environment in Canada through its mission of Constructing Safety Leadership.  

Companies registered with the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) and who fall under the CLASS B – BUILDING CONSTRUCTION rate code are automatic members of the SCSA.
