Description of Award
The IRMCA Environmental Innovation Award celebrates leadership and a unique innovation to help a member’s company or member’s plant location to operate in a way that is both safe and beneficial. This will recognize out-of-the-box thinking for solutions to location constraints, environmental risks, and regulations imposed by other agencies.
An innovation is defined as a specific identifiable change, either implemented or constructed, to reduce or eliminate an individual’s exposure to a hazard in the workplace.

These innovations may include:

• Engineering control, redesign, armoring or guarding
• Work practice changes that eliminate or reduce the risk to a hazard
• Improvements to the personal protective equipment used by workers
• Improvements for an environmental risk
• Training on its own will not qualify as a hazard control.  Training in conjunction with controlling a hazard can qualify, as long as there is documentation of the hazard prior to the training, along with the controls put in place to eliminate the hazard.

 
Award Eligibility
Companies eligible to apply for the award must be IRMCA Producer members and meet the criteria and qualifications as outlined herein.
