Safety Innovation Awards competitionSafety Innovation Awards competition encourages the development of

innovative ergonomic and/or safety

solutions in Ohio’s businesses. In addition,

it recognizes employers for demonstrating

a commitment to safety and the well-being

of their employees. We’ve selected the top

companies in Ohio that received BWC safety

grants to participate in the competition. We

will judge them on how their innovation:

• Prevents risk;

• Is cost effective;

• Is simple to implement.

You will decide the winner of the People’s Choice award! Visit the Safety

Innovation Competition area in the expo hall to cast your vote. We will

announce the winners at Thursday’s general session.

Passport to SafetyShopping for products and services has never been so fun. Visit

exhibitors in the Expo Marketplace and get your passport stamped.
