Safety Professionals Invited to Support the Winners at Virtual Presentation

Neenah, WI - Three safety professionals are about to receive one of the most prestigious awards in the industry at the 19th annual Safety Professional of the Year (SPOTY) award presentation hosted by     J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

The event recognizes the critical role of safety professionals in building safety cultures and ensuring employees return home safely to their families. Winners are chosen by a panel from among J. J. Keller’s 70-plus safety consultants and editors who are experts in the areas of environmental health and safety. J. J. Keller’s SPOTY Award program has awarded approximately $225,000 in cash and prizes since it began in 2002.

Due to COVID-19, the award ceremony will take place virtually this year, beginning at 1:00 PM CST on Thursday, October 22, 2020.

“While we wish we could bring all three winners onsite to award them, hosting the event virtually will allow safety professionals from around the country to attend this free event,” said J. J. Keller president and CEO, Rustin Keller. “It’s an exceptional opportunity to learn how some of the leaders in the industry have created best-in-class safety cultures.”

After each winner is announced, they’ll briefly share their approach to safety, including safety metrics and tactics, overcoming unique safety challenges, innovating for safety, safety in the era of a pandemic and developing a safety vision.
