Each year, EAPA's annual awards program recognizes and celebrates the achievement of individuals and organizations who have distinguished themselves through their contributions to the EA profession and EAPA. Selection of award recipients is the responsibility of the EAPA Awards Committee. The 2016 EAPA Awards will be presented at the 2016 Annual World EAP Conference in Chicago. Membership on the Awards Committee will require a total time commitment of two to four hours to review the electronically submitted award nominations (one to two hours) and participate in a one to two hour conference call to discuss and select award winners. The committee is looking for interested members working in external, internal and labor EA settings in the United States and other countries to represent the diversity of EAPA's membership. You must be a member of EAPA to serve on the committee and members of the committee are not eligible to receive an individual award. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please send an email to webeditor@eapassn.org. Include in your email a brief description of your current and previous roles as an EA professional.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration will now require about 750,000 employers to submit detailed annual reports of workplace injuries and illnesses for publication online. The rule, announced May 11, takes effect Aug. 10, with initial reports due to be filed electronically in 2017.
Critics have said the publication of injury and illness reports would lead to public shaming of businesses for incidents that in some cases are outside of their control. This is information that employers already collect and is typically revealed to OSHA only during inspections or surveys.
