Make a Difference - Health and Safety Awards

These awards will highlight the role of health and safety professionals in a range of manufacturing industries

This is your opportunity to promote the excellent work carried out by you or the Health and Safety professional in your manufacturing facility and to provide recognition. The deadline for applications is the 24 June 2011, 12.00 noon GMT.

About the awards

The awards scheme is designed to recognise the success of individual health and safety practitioners in manufacturing in the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, France and Germany for improvements they have made in three categories key to successful risk management over the last three years.

The award categories are:

  • Safe systems of work;
  • Instruction, training and supervision;
  • Selection and effective use of personal protective equipment.

The UK winners in each of the three categories will go forward to the European awards final event hosted by Kimberly-Clark Professional. This will take place at the A+A international trade fair in Dusseldorf on 19 October. Winners will be provided with return flights plus one night’s hotel accommodation.

The A+A international trade fair will provide an international platform for each of the winners to share their stories about how they have driven health and safety improvements within their respective manufacturing units.

The overall European winner will receive an IPad 2 mobile digital device and will feature extensively in planned media coverage.
