Steve Jobs knew a thing or two about innovation. He once said, "I want to put a ding in the universe." Talk about accomplishing a mission.

In many ways, EHS professionals put a ding in the universe each day as they help people stay safe on the job. Eliminating hazards, improving safety knowledge and increasing efficiency all take innovation and it's worth sharing your story. Tell the SH&E community what you've done and how its outcome has returned positive benefits by submitting an application for the inaugural Innovation Award in Occupational Safety Management. Applications for the award, from ASSE and Cintas, are due March 31 and can be submitted online.

“Only through world-class practices and continual innovation can we drive the [safety] industry forward,” says Cintas's Dan Braun. ASSE President Kathy Seabrook hopes the award will "inspire organizations around the world to create and execute on ideas that proactively promote safety and health performance."

An independent panel of industry experts will judge submissions. The winner will receive a $3,000 cash prize and commemorative plaque, which will be presented at ASSE's Safety 2014 conference in Orlando, FL.
