In the spring of 2002, CCOHS Council of Governors established an occupational health and safety scholarship fund in memory of Dick Martin, a tireless pioneer of workplace health and safety in Canada. This annual, national award is available to post-secondary students enrolled in occupational health and safety programs.
Each year CCOHS proudly awards several scholarships. The recipients come from different educational and professional backgrounds yet share a common desire to make new inroads in the occupational health ands safety field.
As part of the evaluation criteria for the award, applicants submit essays related to their aspirations in occupational health and safety and are judged on their knowledge of the subject matter, understanding of the principles and values of Dick Martin, and understanding the role of CCOHS.
