Shell Canada Limited, Scotford Refinery – 2024 Fall Turnaround (Q4) - General Presidents’ Safety Excellence Award (Q1)
These awards, presented by the Canadian Safety Achievement Awards (CS2A) organized by the General Presidents Maintenance Committee (GPMC) and the National Maintenance Council (NMC) for Canada, celebrate organizations that demonstrate outstanding safety performance, industry collaboration, and workforce engagement in achieving injury-free work.
