Those that were selected to move on to the final stage of competition were then asked to make a presentation to a panel of judges regarding their safety program. This year’s judges were: Ted Michgelbrink from Safetyhead training along with OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialists, Steven Simmons and Jonathan Worrel.

This year there are two categories of winners: those with 70 or less employees and those with greater than 70 employees.
