Vision Zero Awards For Safety, Health & Wellbeing

In 2017, the VISION ZERO Initiative globally launched as the central strategy of the International Social Security Association (ISSA) to establish a new culture of prevention and mindset of leaders and workers. By committing to this international strategy, companies and organizations all over the world intend to establish a culture of prevention at all workplaces and strengthen efforts for better workplace safety, health, and wellbeing towards zero accidents and work-related diseases.

The VISION ZERO Awards Scheme aims to recognize and celebrate outstanding commitment and achievements in promoting workplace safety, health, and wellbeing. The awards will serve as a platform to showcase best practices and inspire other organizations to prioritize safety, health and wellbeing in the workplace.

Do you know an individual, organization, or group that deserves recognition for their contributions to Safety, Health, and Wellbeing? Nominations are welcome for others, your team, or yourself.

Please send the nomination form to both Kevin Mooney, President ISSA Mining (kmooney@wcbsask.com) and Megan Taylor, Coordinator (mtaylor@wcbsask.com).

Awards will be announced ahead of the ISSA 2026 and presented at the show. Nominations will be accepted until end of day July 1, 2026.
