The Corporate Health Achievement Award (CHAA) is an exciting opportunity to recognize organizations with exemplary health, safety, and environmental programs. Participating organizations submit a comprehensive application about their program and undergo a rigorous review by an expert panel to assess four key categories: Leadership & Management, Healthy Workers, Healthy Environment, and Healthy Organization. Awards have been given to deserving organizations in manufacturing and service sectors, including city health departments, federal agencies, and healthcare systems. Also, certificates of merit have been bestowed for model programs noted as sections of applications.
