The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) is now accepting nominations for its annual Safety Person of the Year and Safety Professional of the Year awards that recognize railroad member employees who demonstrate “exemplary safety performance throughout their careers.” The deadline is Nov. 15.
According to ASLRRA, the Safety Person of the Year Award honors a non-management employee “who works with management on effective safety programs, exhibits a high degree of safety awareness, and contributes off-duty time to activities promoting safety awareness in the community.” The Safety Professional of the Year Award honors a railroad management employee “who is responsible for safety programs, training, and the overall management of safe behavior and actions on their railroad(s).”
Winners will be recognized during the general session of ASLRRA’s 2025 Conference & Exhibition, to be held in Denver, Colo., on April 6-8. The award package includes complimentary conference registration and other benefits, according to the association.
