In recognition of its commitment to maintaining a safe work environment and minimizing employees’ time lost due to workplace injuries, the Town of Irondequoit was presented with the 2025 G. Jeffrey Haber Leadership Award by the Comp Alliance at their Safety Committee meeting on Wednesday, June 18th. The award recognizes the proactive measures the town has implemented to establish a “culture of safety” and keep its workplace safe for employees. As a result of the efforts of the elected officials, managerial staff and employees of the town, Irondequoit has elevated the importance of workplace safety, reduced the potential frequency and severity of workplace injuries, ultimately saving its taxpayers on the Town’s workers’ compensation costs.
“This award recognizes the leadership and commitment required by elected officials, and the discipline required by employees at all levels, to maintain a safe work environment. The coordinated effort of the town’s leadership, its safety committee, and dedicated safety officer elevates the importance of workplace safety and promotes a safe workplace culture.”
Michael Kenneally, Comp Alliance Executive Director
“The town’s workforce is the foundation of the community, and ensuring their safety is essential to the effective and efficient delivery of services. The leadership exhibited by the Town is truly an example to all towns in New York State.”
Association of Towns Executive Director Christopher Koetzle.
