John Nagle, icare group executive workers' insurance, said the outstanding calibre of contributions is reflective of the evolving reputation of CASE as the premier awards.

“It is gratifying to see how young people are playing a significant role, introducing new ways of working together, using approaches which are caring, supportive, and professional,” Nagle said. “At the other end of the spectrum, the submissions for the lifetime awards show the high levels of commitment and passion from people who have dedicated their careers to creating safer workplaces.”
