TORONTO — Ontario’s Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) has awarded a safety award to the health and safety manager of D’Orazio Infrastructure Group.
D’Orazio’s Andrew Stone received the TSSA Impact Safety Award.
“Andrew Stone is a dedicated safety advocate,” said John Marshall, TSSA’s director of fuels safety, in an Oct. 4 statement.
“His commitment to education and innovation is an excellent example of the type of leadership we are proud to highlight with our annual Impact Safety Award.”

As a board member he played an important role in developing a provincial plan to improve safety education and training for excavators when working around buried infrastructure, the release said.
A second Impact Safety Award was presented to W.O. Stinson & Son Ltd., which is active in the residential and commercial fuel and lubricant distribution sector in eastern Ontario and western Quebec.
