J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of safety and regulatory compliance solutions, announced that nominations are open for the J.J. Keller Safety Professional of the Year (SPOTY) Awards. This coincides with the kickoff of June as National Safety Council’s National Safety Month.

This year, nomination forms include additional recognition for those addressing safety of employees and others during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Nominations are open through July 15, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. CST at jjkeller.com/spoty.

SPOTY winners are chosen by members of J.J. Keller’s staff of 70+ safety consultants and editors. The winners will be announced in September.

“The SPOTY Award is one of the most prestigious awards a safety professional can earn. From our unique perspective providing safety solutions to more than 90% of Fortune 1000® companies, we see and advise on the safety practices that are head-and-shoulders above the others,” said Rustin Keller, J.J. Keller president and CEO. “This year, we look forward to honoring those who have also implemented forward-thinking pandemic plans.”

SPOTY nominations are open to safety professionals in the United States. Awards are presented for the Safety Professional of the Year as well as second and third places.
