With the launch of the Safety Programs Recognition Awards, the Division of Safety Programs will reward the safety and innovative work done by all Caltrans employees, occurring between Jan. 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021.
These awards emphasize the Division’s 4 Safety Pillars (Doubling Down on What Works, Accelerate Advanced Technology, Implement a Safe System Approach, and Integrate Equity), The District Safety Initiative Award, and the superior accomplishment Orange Award.
