To: VI Health, Safety & Environment Committee
Re: VI Annual Award for Contribution to Safety Nominations due by March 29, 1994
In 1984, the VI Executive Baord approved the establishment of an annual award for contribution to safety. This award is meant to recognize the most valuable contribution to safety in the vinyl industry that has been made recently. Such a contribution may have been made available to the industry in general or may have been a unique program in an individual company that has proven successful and which that company now wishes to share with the industry at large.
Nominations should be sent to my attention and received no later
than March 29, 1994.
A suggested format is attached, but
nominations can be in any form (such as a letter) provided the
requested information is contained therein.
Voting on the nominations by the Executive Board will take place by letter ballot. The award will be presented during the Vinyl Institute Annual Meeting May 23-25, 1994.
Since 1984, there have been five winners of this Vinyl Institute award:
1992/Occidental Chemical Corporation for contributions made to the establishment of VCNet, the mutual aid program.
1988/Dr. John Creech, Maurice Johnson and BFGoodrich Company for contributions in the early discovery and announcement of the link between vinyl chloride and angiosarcoma of the liver.
1987/Mr. John Barr and Air Products for unique contributions to industry publications and to standards setting and safety organizations.
1986/Dow Chemical for a presentation of worldwide storage and loading facilities.
1985/Dr. John Stafford and ICI for the establishment and maintenance of the Angiosarcoma Registry*.
