For the purposes of this award, a safety person is an employee who has multiple jobs or responsibilities, with safety being only a part of what they do. A safety person candidate would be any railroad employee at any level whose actions consistently show a dedication to safe performance on the railroad – even if “safety” is not in their title.
In contrast, a safety professional railroad management employee whose job is safety on a full time basis. For example, a manager of training, safety manager, director of safety, manager of safety and training, director of safety and compliance, etc. would be considered a safety professional.
