Safety Professional of the Year

NEW!! - For 2011, the ASLRRA is also instituting a second individual safety award.

is an excellent communicator, motivator and organizer
is selfless in their actions, doing the job for results, not recognition
consistently produces documentable safety achievements, and
is respected by peers, senior management and subordinates alike.

How to Nominate

Most Improved Safety Record Award

ASLRRA has also instituted a change to the Most Improved Award. Whereas in prior years, the award was given to the railroad with best improvement in safety rate from one year to the next, it is now awarded based on a nomination process. To view more information about the process click here.
