The Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) has given its annual Doug Chalmers Award to Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) president and CEO Al Beattie and his team. The award, which goes to an individual or group that has contributed notably to occupational health and safety in the Ontario construction sector, was presented to recognize Beattie’s leadership in the oh&s field and his commitment to developing safety solutions in the industry, particularly his staunch advocacy for the Certificate of Recognition (COR) standard. In 2010, Beattie and his team successfully merged the IHSA with the Construction Safety Association of Ontario, the Electrical & Utilities Association and the Transportation Health & Safety Association. Previous recipients of the Doug Chalmers Award include Aecon vice president Mike Archambault and former Construction Safety Solutions safety specialist Dan Padden, according to the OGCA’s website.
