Safety is a high priority for FMA and TPA members and we want to recognize their efforts. Participating in FMA's Safety Award Program is a great way to stimulate interest in accident prevention and promote safety in the workplace. It's also an excellent way to recognize the employees' safe work habits.
Awards will be presented at the Safety Conference 2010.

The following awards are available to Advantage-level members only:

Safety Award of Honor

How to enter

For your company to be eligible to receive a certificate of recognition, simply submit OSHA Form 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. To receive a certificate, a perfect safety record is not required because the recognition is based on whether the company's incidence rate is better than the national BLS injury and illness incidence rate for that NAICS code. Companies fitting into one of the award categories listed above will receive a certificate and will be recognized publicly by FMA.
The reporting period is Jan. 1, 2009, through Dec. 31, 2009, and the report must represent ONLY the division of your company at the location of your membership. Deadline for submission of OSHA Form 300A is Feb. 28, 2010.
Not a member? Call customer service at 888-394-4362 or e-mail customer service at info@fmanet.org.

Instructions for submission in the U.S.

Please fax Form 300A along with a cover sheet that contains member name, member ID#, and the name of your facility's safety contact person to Ginger Baerenwald in Member Services at 815-484-7719. If you have any questions, please call 888-394-4362 or e-mail Ginger Baerenwald.

Instructions for submission in Canada

According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety and the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada, Canadian companies do not complete a form that is equivalent to the OSHA 300A Summary of Injuries & Illnesses, and the statistics for incidence rates by NAICS code or industry are not available for Canada on a national level.
Since we cannot duplicate the Safety Award Program using Canadian information, we've adjusted the contest rules to allow Canadian companies to participate by completing and submitting the OSHA form in accordance with OSHA reporting guidelines. We will then compare it to the U.S. national average for the appropriate NAICS code.
To be eligible for the Safety Awards Program, please become familiar with the OSHA requirements and start using the appropriate reporting forms.
