Question:

    My operation was owned by Company "A" in 2008, and we won a gold award. My operation was purchased and now owned by Company "B" in 2009, and we have won another gold award. Do I still qualify for stars of excellence?

Answer:

    Stars of Excellence will be granted towards individual operations, regardless of who the parent company is at the time of award. If an operation is purchased and sold within the 5-year period, the gold awards won by the individual operation over that 5-year period will still be valid for stars of excellence consideration.

Question:

    I have won an award. When will I receive it?

Answer:

    Safety Excellence "Gold" Awards and will be distributed at the March 2011 Annual Convention in Las Vegas, NV. The James M. Christie Safety and Health Professional Award and the Sterling Award will be distributed at the March 2011 Annual Convention in Las Vegas, NV. All additional awards, including the "Environmental Certificate of Achievement" Awards, will be mailed to the winners at the contact address, as entered by the applicant during the on-line application process.

Question:

    Can more than one person work on an award application/nomination through the application process?

Answer:

    When applying for an award(s) using the application software, you are required to register, and as a result you will receive a username and password. This provides NSSGA with a main contact for the award(s) applied. If you would like to have someone else assist you with the awards application process, the only way you will be able to do this is by sharing your username and password with that individual, so they can access your applications.

Question:

    Where will the certification of achievements be mailed to?

Answer:

    To the contact address, as entered by the applicant during the on-line application process. In the awards application software, there are two areas to enter in addresses. First is the contact address. This is the individual who is actually entering in the information for the award application. The second place is the operation address. This should be the name and address of the operation for which the award is being applied for. All certificates of achievements (and awards not accepted at the awards ceremonies) will be forwarded to the contact at their listed address.
