Seeking nominations: Safe Driver Award

Nominations are now being accepted for South Carolina’s State Government Safe Driver Award Program, recognizing employees who safely operated state-owned vehicles in 2012.

Nominations for this award are being accepted for the calendar year 2012.

Employees may qualify for a certificate for each calendar year of safe driving, and a lapel pin for each five years of consecutive safe driving.

Each department should select the drivers based on the following criteria:

1. To qualify for the certificate, the employee must have:

  • operated state-owned vehicles for the period of one year (calendar year 2012) without a chargeable accident or moving violation.
  • completed an approved driver training course within the past three years.

2.    To qualify for the lapel pin, the employee must have:

  • operated state-owned vehicles without a chargeable accident or moving violation for a period of five consecutive years
  • completed an approved driver training course within the past three years.

This is an ideal opportunity to recognize university employees for the safe operation of vehicles.

Review and submit all candidates for the Safe Driver Award to the risk management office by Friday, March 15. To nominate someone, include the following required information:

  • Department name
  • Department number
  • Employee name
  • Employee’s Clemson University Business Systems (CUBS) ID number
  • Employee’s number of years of service
  • Whether you are nominating for a certificate or lapel pin

An employee may receive a one-year certificate for consecutive years, but lapel pins are awarded only in five-year increments.
