This Relief is a "Portland Cement Association Safety Trophy" that was awarded to Inland Cement Industries Limited, Winnipeg Manitoba for a perfect safety record in 1967.
It was re-awarded in 1968, 1974 and 1980.

~ extracted from (visit link) ~
The first “Safety Follows Wisdom” Trophy (or Monument) was awarded to the San Antonio Portland Cement Company in San Antonio, Texas during the Associations Spring Meeting in May 1924. Prior to 1923, a competition was held to create the “Safety Follows Wisdom” design, and the winner was a small team of artists from the Art Institute in Chicago working under the guidance of well-known sculptor, Albin Polasek. That same safety design is still used in the Safety Awards presented today.
