MADISON — Wisconsin Safety Council — the state’s leading provider of safety training and products — announced the nine winners of the organization’s 30th annual Corporate Safety Awards. The program recognizes Wisconsin companies that are dedicated to prioritizing a culture of safety in the workplace and have maintained exceptional safety records.

“Our mission is to make Wisconsin the safest place to live, work and play,” said Aaron Huebner, Wisconsin Safety Council Executive Director. “The Corporate Safety Awards program recognizes companies that have built a culture of safety for their teams. Thank you to every individual who goes above and beyond industry standards to ensure their workplaces are safe so their coworkers can go home healthy each day. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners!” 

Wisconsin Safety Council, in partnership with M3 Insurance and the Department of Workforce Development, presents the awards program each year to encourage companies to promote excellence in safety and health.

“We are happy to recognize the many employers throughout our state who every day demonstrate a true commitment to keeping workers safe and healthy on the job,” said Department of Workforce Development Secretary Amy Pechacek. “These are the kinds of commitments that give Wisconsin employers a competitive edge in attracting and retaining members of our best-in-class workforce.”

The winners were selected by an independent panel of safety, health and insurance professionals. Applicants were required to submit data about their 2023 safety records and provide information about their company’s safety and health leadership, training programs and their safety accomplishments and goals.

“M3 Insurance is thrilled to congratulate the winners of this year’s Corporate Safety Awards. Companies who make risk management and employee safety a top priority continue to be considered market leaders and employers of choice,” said Chris Halverson, M3 Risk Management Sales Director.

The awards are distributed based on company size in three categories: Manufacturing; Agriculture, Transportation, Utilities & Other; and Construction. Wisconsin Safety Council, the Department of Workforce Development and M3 Insurance will present the awards to the winning companies at the Wisconsin Safety Council Annual Conference, held April 15-17 in Wisconsin Dells.
