The 2025 Canada’s Safest Employers Awards are set to return to Toronto on October 9, bringing together hundreds of the country’s top health and safety professionals for an evening of recognition, networking, and celebration.

Now in its 15th year, the CSEAs—presented by Canadian Occupational Safety and powered by Key Media—continue to honour the individuals, teams, and organizations setting the benchmark for workplace safety across the country.

This week, organizers revealed the Excellence Awardees: a distinguished group of finalists competing across more than 20 categories in occupational health and safety leadership, innovation, and performance.

Winning a CSEA is more than an accolade—it's a testament to a commitment to safety excellence that resonates with employees, clients, and industry peers alike.

Benchmarking health and safety excellence

The 2025  excellence awardees include firms from every corner of the Canadian economy—from industrial manufacturers and logistics providers to public sector employers and non-profits—alongside individuals recognized for their standout contributions to the sector.

Such recognition amplifies an organization's dedication to safety, fostering trust and opening doors to new opportunities. In 2025, the opportunity to join this esteemed group is once again within reach.

The secrets to CSEAs success 

The 2025 awards feature a wide mix of individual and organizational honors.
