Waiward Steel LP was recognized for its commitment to safety and workforce competency at the Construction Owners Association of Alberta’s Best Practices Conference in Edmonton on May 9. COAA 2017 Safety Leadership Award was presented to Waiward Steel’s Chief Operations Officer Jim Kanerva in recognition of his contribution to the success of MODOS competency program—the main contributing factor to Waiward’s recent monumental achievement of more than 4 million work hours free of lost time incidents. The COAA conference honors outstanding contributions and accomplishments in several construction industry related roles and responsibilities every year.
“It’s a career honor to be recognized by our customers and peers on something so important,” said Jim Kanerva. “It is a team award for Waiward Steel, my colleagues and our ironworkers because the success of MODOS wouldn’t be possible without them”.
