Submit Nominations for the Liberty Mutual Award
The Liberty Mutual Safety Innovation Award recognizes interventions designed to reduce or eliminate hazards that lead to injuries and pain in the construction industry. These interventions can be an evidence-based technology, a work practice, a program, or a grass-roots campaign/media engagement focused on reaching smaller contractors or other underserved segments of the construction workforce. Sponsored by Liberty Mutual Insurance in partnership with CPWR, the award — now in its fourth year — includes a $15,000 prize for the winning individual or organization; one or more honorable mentions may also be awarded.
