MONTREAL — The awards were presented at OHS Honours, an event that recognises the best in workplace occupational health and safety (OHS) across Canada, where the airline won in the OHS Culture and Best Use of Safety Technology categories.
OHS Honours has awarded Air Canada for its safety-first culture and use of technology to promote workplace safety.
The awards were established to recognize workplaces that implement workplace and occupational health and safety (OHS) measures across Canada.
Specifically, it awarded Air Canada under the OHS Culture and Best Use of Safety Technology category.
“These awards demonstrate that our out-of-the-box thinking to develop simple and efficient technology solutions to engage our workforce and make occupational health and safety more effective has worked. Safety is one of our core values and drives every action we take, or decision we make. For an airline, there is no greater recognition to receive nor an award to win than one for safety,” said Samuel Elfassy, vice president, safety, at Air Canada in a statement.
The OHS Honours are held annually in Toronto and the winners are selected by the editors and publisher of OHS Canada and Talent Canada.
The OHS Culture Award is presented to organizations that showcase a positive change in health and safety at all business levels and demonstrate a collective shift amongst leadership and employees towards OHS excellence, while the Best Use of Safety Technology award is given to organizations who use technology to help reduce injuries and save lives.
