The 2012 WorkCover NSW SafeWork Awards are now open, and businesses across New South Wales are encouraged to showcase their safety achievements by sending their entries.
The annual awards, which is now on its ninth year, reward and recognise organisations and individuals who have set high standards of work health and safety in NSW.
John Watson, WorkCover?s Work Health and Safety Division General Manager said that this event is an opportunity for businesses to display their approach to safety solutions, innovation and achievement with a state-wide audience.
?Business who enter can enhance their reputation, be a safety ambassador and gain recognition for safety benchmarks from their industry peers,? said Mr Watson.
The 2012 WorkCover NSW SafeWork Awards have four categories:
- Best workplace health and safety management system
- Best solution to an identified workplace health and safety issue
- Best workplace health and safety practices in small business
- Best individual contribution to workplace safety
Businesses, organisations, individuals or not-for profit organisations registered in New South Wales are invited to join. Winners will be announced during a gala dinner event in Sydney in October.
?Winners from each category will receive national recognition for their contribution to workplace safety and will receive automatic entry in the 2013 National Safe Work Australia Awards,? said Mr Watson.
?Winners of the last year?s awards made a significant difference in their respective workplaces while also driving home the safety message of their core business and services to potential clients.
?Safety should be a number one priority in every workplace. We should all strive to develop a culture where everyone accepts responsibility for their own health and safety as well as their colleagues.?
?WorkCover and the New South Wales government is committed to delivering improvements in workplace safety by working closely with industry to help make businesses more productive.
?I encourage all workplaces to highlight safety achievements by submitting an entry in this year?s awards,? said Mr Watson.
Entries must be submitted online and will close at midnight Friday June 8.
