History of DSSA
The Distinguished Service to Safety Award was first presented in 1942 to recognize individuals and companies who significantly supported the U.S. workers during World War II by reducing occupational injuries. The award was restructed into four levels in 1951, and then reinstated in April 1954 as the highest Council award to individuals. The Distinguished Service to Safety Award is presented annually at the Opening Session of NSC's Congress & Expo.
