As we all know, Safety is of utmost importance in every activity that we engage in, and ensuring that everyone returns home safely is always our top priority. To underscore this message and drive for continuous improvement and innovation, I am delighted to launch the 2025 Carrix CEO Safety Awards.

The CEO Safety Awards shine a spotlight on individuals, teams, and operating locations for their exceptional achievements in advancing safety through our Home SAFE program.

The Carrix CEO Safety Awards categories include:

1. Outstanding Safety Leadership Award (individual nomination):
This award honors an individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership in safety management and made a significant impact through active leadership. We encourage all managers and staff to nominate those leading a change in safety culture. A leader in safety could be anyone within Carrix, e.g., superintendents, longshoremen, office-based employees, etc.

2. Safety Excellence Award (team nomination):
This award recognizes a team or group that has undertaken noteworthy initiatives that have contributed to continual safety performance and improvements. As in 2024, we are particularly looking for innovation-driven nominations this year.

3. Safest Operation Award (operating location nomination)
This award recognizes an operating location that has achieved the following:

  • Zero workplace fatalities or disabling injuries in the past three years;
  • Processes, activities or innovations that have led to more resilient controls (elimination, substitution, or engineering) that have been implemented and significantly reduced operational risk;
  • Continued decline over 12 months in the Global Lost Time Injury Frequency KPI (GLTIF).
