Appendix 1

GNOIEC/MGCSC SAFETY AWARDS PROGRAM
GENERAL GUIDELINES

All nominations must be submitted to the GNOIEC Office by the March 7, 2008 DUE DATE.
(MUST BE RECEIVED AND COMPLETED TO BE CONSIDERED)

The Safety Awards Committee will evaluate nominations, to determine if contractor members are eligible to participate in the award program based on eligibility and criteria for nomination evaluation.

Contractors will only be nominated for one award classification, based on applicable SIC/NAICS Code listed in Appendix II, page 11 and OWNER MEMBER MULTIPLE SITE WORKHOURS COMBINED category.

In the event of a tie, nominees must ensure that the appropriate personnel are available for interviews at the time of the audit.   A list of current regional employees and nominating site employees must be provided prior to the scheduled audit date.  If time is not allocated the application becomes void.  If interview scheduling becomes a problem due to the audit schedule, additional time for these interviews may be granted.

Nomination audits will serve to validate the information supplied in the nomination form. The nomination site work hours and combined site work hour statistics for the multiple site categories will be checked... Key elements in the Contractors Safety Management program will be reviewed with the nominee. Pertinent records, documentation, program reviews and interviews will be used to substantiate the elements of the Contractors safety program. The audit will be conducted at the nominee work/worksites.

The audit format will be consistent for all applicants where applicable.

No final information regarding the Contractor Safety Excellence Award audits will be discussed with any contractors.  All findings are strictly reserved for the Contractor Safety Excellence Award Selection Committee.  Results will only be made with the announcement of the winners in each category at the Safety Excellence Awards Banquet on June 10, 2008.
