Each January, the Alliance for Chemical Safety (ACS) honors companies, individuals and organizations that have excelled in reducing risk, communicating risk or promoting chemical safety during the past year.
The risk communication award recognizes a company, organization or individual who has shown outstanding leadership in communicating about chemical risks. The award is based on several factors such as the objective of the communication, size of the intended audience, availability of public interaction, effectiveness of the communication, number of organizations involved, and whether the communication supports the Alliance for Chemical Safety's mission. Their mission is to promote public understanding and involvement in chemical risk management.
On January 15, the Alliance for Chemical Safety recognized the "Kids+Chemical Safety" (www.KidsChemicalSafety), with the 2013 Risk Communication Award. Ms. Patricia Nance and Mr. Oliver Kroner accepted the award on behalf of the Kids+Chemical Safety website.
