About the Canadian Occupational Safety Readers' Choice Awards:

The Canadian Occupational Safety Readers’ Choice Awards survey ran from May 11 to June 5, 2026. Canadian Occupational Safety compiled a list of vendors and suppliers to the occupational health and safety community based on the editorial team’s knowledge and independent research across each award category. Readers were invited to cast confidential ballots through an online survey and could vote for up to a specified number of organizations per category. Respondents could also nominate additional organizations not on the original list. The three nominees, including any ties, who received the highest overall vote count in each category were awarded the Readers’ Choice designation.
