Concrete Producer, The, Nov, 2003

The National Safety Council (NSC) is establishing a global leadership award that will be presented annually to companies that demonstrate commendable leadership and excellence in safety, health, and environmental performance.

The award will recognize businesses that demonstrate the value they place on safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) excellence and show how measurable achievement in SH&E performance is linked to productivity, profitability, and other measures of business performance.

"SH&E excellence is a reflection of how companies value human life, their employees, and their citizenship in the communities in which they live," says Alan McMillan, NSC president. "We believe SH&E systems are not simply a necessary cost of doing business, but are a direct contributor to improved business performance."

The first winners will be announced in October 2004. For more information, visit www.nsc.org.
