2006 ASLRRA Safety Person of the Year Award
January 20, 2006
American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association is proud to announce that we are accepting nominations for the 6th Annual Safety Person of the Year Award. Response to this program has been overwhelming as it has become one of the most prestigious honors in the short line and regional railroad industry. This award not only acknowledges an individual employee’s commitment to safety, but it also shines a light on their railroad’s dedication to a safe working environment and a strong safety culture.

The program is specifically designed to recognize railroad employees that not only talk about safety, but also are prime examples of what safety truly means on our railroads. Any ASLRRA railroad member employee is eligible to win this award - as long as they are dedicated to promoting safety in word, thought and deed and are able to demonstrate their commitment to safety.

The ASLRRA Safety Person of the Year Award will be presented on April 24, 2006, at the ASLRRA Annual Convention in Orlando, FL. The winner and his/her spouse will be flown to the meeting at ASLRRA’s expense to receive the custom-designed award.

Time is of the essence, so entries must be submitted no later than March 24, 2006. For more information on how to nominate someone for the Safety Person of the Year Award, please click here.
