Gregory Dolnak (NWM) completed the weekly Resource Conservation and Recovery Act inspections at the end of the day, when a waste specialist observed him obtaining a scanner and re-scanning staged containers that had failed when scanned the previous week for the quarterly inventory. Greg performed this activity at the end of his work shift, inspiring the gratitude of the waste specialist for his extra effort.
Spot Awards give employees “on-the-spot” recognition for positive safety or quality assurance initiative. The Spot Award program offers three award levels: gold ($100), silver ($50) and bronze ($25).
If you see an employee exhibiting behavior that warrants positive recognition (e.g., safe behavior or process improvements), you can nominate that individual for a Spot Award by submitting Spot Award (ANL-758).
The form will be routed to the individual’s supervisor and division for approval. Observers may award employees from their own division or from other divisions. The cost of the award is charged to the recipient’s division.
Additional information about the Spot Award program is available on Inside Argonne.
