The National Safety Council announced it is now accepting nominations for the Marion Martin Recognition Award, which is presented to women who have advanced safety and broken down traditional gender barriers within the safety field.
"Marion Martin (photo left) was a trailblazer and visionary, and her long career was distinguished by efforts to save lives and prevent injuries," said Deborah A.P. Hersman, CEO of the National Safety Council. "We are excited to recognize the next generation of Marion Martins through the establishment of this inaugural award." Qualifications include at least one of the following: influenced other women to pursue careers in the safety field; opened doors for women in a safety employment setting that are historically and professionally limited to them; and advanced opportunities for women within the safety field.
