Adam’s initiative in identifying the hazard and seeing the resolution through to a successful end has earned him an EHS Safety Recognition Award. More>

Nominating a fellow employee  for a Safety Recognition Award (formerly Safety Spot Award)  is an important first step in advancing a culture of safety at LBNL. If you see a co-worker taking extra steps to make our workplace even safer, let them know you appreciate their efforts by sending in a nomination through the Safety Award webpage, or handing that thoughtful person a Hero Card (available from [email protected]).
