National Safety Month Contest Winners!
Last month employees and their families colored Safety sheets, created Safety slogans and told us what “Safety Means to Them” – Congratulations to our winners!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2025 National Safety Month Contests!
Safety Friends Coloring Contest
We received 131 coloring sheets from Action Stainless, Berlin Metals, Integrity Stainless, Metal-Fab and Olympic Steel locations. It was difficult to choose just 12 winners, but after much deliberation, congratulations to the following kiddos who submitted their entry through the employee listed. Each of the Coloring Contest winners will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.

What Does Safety Mean to You?
Seventy employees from across the Company, representing Action Stainless, Berlin Metals, Central Tube & Bar, Integrity Stainless, Metal-Fab, Olympic Steel and Shaw Stainless shared what Safety means to them - and, we are inspired!
As we reflect on these sentiments, our CEO, Rick Marabito, shares his personal thoughts on what Safety means to him:
An Olympic Steel where…
- Every team member is laser-focused and accountable for participating in Safety – every time.
- We never have to notify a family member or coworker that their loved-one or friend was injured at work.
- Every team member is comfortable speaking to colleagues about Safety and risks and is willing to stop an unsafe or high-risk act.
- When asked, “What is most important at Olympic Steel?” every team member answers decisively “keeping each other safe!”.
- Every leader asks, “What can I do to make my division, operation or department safer?”.
- Every leader is admired as a role model for Safety.
While we’ve identified nine winners, all participants gave thought to this question; thank you all for sharing your responses. We’ll find ways to share all the insightful answers throughout the year on social media and in recurring communications.
Congratulations to the winners, three for each job category (Administration, Sales and Warehouse). Each of them will receive a $50 credit to their AwardCo account.

One More Way to Win
If you missed these two contests, there is still one more way to win during National Safety Month – the Team Challenge! During the month of June, if all employees attend a Safety training (meaning you’ve reached 100% participation in offered Safety trainings), your location will receive a special lunch in July (for all shifts). See your Safety contact for the June Safety training schedule.
Safety First. Always. And, it starts with me.
