The internationally-renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards are the longest-running industry awards scheme in the UK. The RoSPA Awards scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises achievement in health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations around the world, making it one of the most sought-after global accolades in health and safety.

“RoSPA wants every employee, wherever they are, to work safe in the knowledge that they will be going home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. The RoSPA Award winners are vital to help achieve this goal, as by entering they are driving up standards and setting new benchmarks for organisations everywhere. Currently, around 7million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s influence is even wider.”

Tim Proctor, Director of Health, Safety, Environment, Quality & Corporate Responsibility, ISS commented, “We have a continual record of year-on-year excellence in Health & Safety. It’s a work in progress where we implement the best in technical and cultural innovation to achieve safety in the workplace. In this way, we aim to create an environment in which our safety practitioners are seen more as a business resource in today’s successful organisations.”

The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards, orders of distinction and the Patron’s Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.

Competitive awards go to the best entries in 24 industry sectors including construction, healthcare, transport and logistics, engineering, manufacturing and education.
