Safety Leadership Awards

The Center for Offshore Safety celebrates offshore workers who strive to improve operational safety and puts a Spotlight on Excellence of those personnel. 

The Safety Leadership Awards encourage and reward outstanding contributions by U.S. offshore industry participants to improve safety management and performance through leadership, communication, and teamwork.
