The Governor's Safety and Health Award is administered by KYSAFE, part of the Kentucky Division of Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training. It is given to employers and their employyes who have achieved the minimum required number of hours worked without experiencing a lost-time injury or illness at their establishment. The facility must also be free of any egregious safety or health violations for 24 months beginning with the date of issuance of the citation and any pending discrimination complaint or any uncorrected or contested serious violations.
