2022 OECS Annual Safety Recognition Awards

Our clients work hard to create a culture that makes the workplace safer every day. We are proud of their growth and want to celebrate their success, so we developed the OECS Safety Awards Program! 

Within this program, we’ve created four unique awards that recognize twelve OECS clients who have gone above and beyond to make their teams safer.
