CSHEMA Campus Leaders Who Care Award 2024
Name of Award: CSHEMA Campus Leaders Who Care
Year obtained: 2024
Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA) is the only organization dedicated solely to supporting Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) professionals in higher education.
As the premier association for safety and health experts in United States for campus settings, CSHEMA honours exceptional leaders in the field through its Campus Leaders Who Care Award. This award recognizes senior administrators who demonstrate outstanding commitment to safety and health stewardship, as well as to environmental and safety issues at their institutions.
In March 2024, the Office of Health and Safety (OHS) nominated Ms. Tan Aik Na, Senior Vice President (Administration), for this prestigious award. The Campus Leaders Who Care Award is designed to acknowledge senior leaders who have made significant strides in fostering a culture of safety. Nominees are evaluated based on several criteria: the effectiveness of their communication strategies for promoting safety from top to bottom, efforts to elevate safety concerns on campus, financial investments in creating safe environments (including facilities and resources), support for integrating safety policies and management systems, and the recognition of faculty, staff, and students for their contributions to safety.
We are delighted to announce that Ms. Tan Aik Na has been honoured with the Campus Leaders Who Care Award for 2024 by CSHEMA, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to the Environmental Health and Safety field.
On July 28, 2024, Mr. Saravanan S/O Gunaratnam, Director of the Office of Health and Safety, accepted the award on behalf of Senior Vice President (Administration) at the annual CSHEMA conference in Tampa, Florida. We are thrilled to celebrate this achievement and highlight NTU leadership’s steadfast dedication to safety and health within our University.
