Entry opens for RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2012

25 October 2011

The entry process is now open for the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2012.

Dating back to 1956, RoSPA’s awards scheme - the largest and longest-running occupational safety awards programme in the UK - recognises organisations’ commitment to accident and ill health prevention. It is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas.

The RoSPA Awards, which are sponsored by NEBOSH (the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), look at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, recognising important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement.

The majority of awards are non-competitive and are presented at a range of achievement levels. Competitive awards are presented in more than 20 sectors and specialist awards recognise excellence in specific areas. For 2012, the specialist trophy sponsors are once again: Westinghouse Springfields Fuels Ltd (Workforce Involvement in Safety and Health Trophy); Allianz Insurance plc (Managing Occupational Road Risk Trophy); Gulf Petrochemicals Industry Company of Bahrain (International Dilmun Environmental Award); and BHSF (SME Assistance Trophy).  

All entrants must register for the awards  by December 1, 2011. There is an early registration discount of £55 for organisations that register by November 4, 2011. After registering, entrants will receive a RoSPA Awards USB key loaded with the required electronic forms, entry structure and simple guidelines with links to further online help. Organisations entering one or more of the specialist award categories will receive additional USB keys on which to compile their submissions.
