Occupational Awards are designed to help you promote the prevention of workplace injuries and illnesses. Recognition is provided based on collective safety achievements and implementation of effective safety policies and procedures. Most Occupational Awards are self-administered, based on data submitted by the participant. NSC reserves the right to audit this data or provide historical record keeping.
These awards are only available to NSC members. You must provide your membership ID on all applications. Don't know your ID number? Contact Customer Service at customerservice@nsc.org or 1-800-621-7619.
