The J. J. Keller^® Safety Professional of the Year (SPOTY) Awards

Our purpose at J. J. Keller is to protect people and the businesses they run. We do this in partnership with the safety professionals who are on the front line of their companies' effort to ensure every employee returns home safe at the end of the day. We created the Safety Professional of the Year (SPOTY) Awards to honor their achievements.

Each year, three exemplary safety professionals — whose vision for safety has created excellence and set them apart — receive one of the most prestigious awards in the industry. We are pleased to honor them. View previous SPOTY winners here.
