Are you the best in workplace health and safety - why not enter the AWHSA Awards?

There is nothing more important than the safety and wellbeing of your people in the community. For many organisations health and safety is a core value and requires dedication of many internal teams to run a safe and profitable business at the same time.

The Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS) recently announced the creation of the Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards (AWHSA), to be held on the 27 May 2020 at the Melbourne Convention Centre, and annually thereafter. This is a great opportunity to nominate your organisation to be recognised for your contribution to Workplace Health and Safety.

The awards are free to enter and provide national recognition to organisations and individuals who are demonstrating excellence and innovation in the field of Workplace Health & Safety (WHS).

There are 12 individual award categories which include the following:

Best Safety Program Initiative Award
Best Health / Well-being Initiative
HRS of the year Award
Best First-Aid Initiative Award
Emergency First-Aid Response Award
Inspector Excellence Award
Best Return to Work Award

More information on the Award Categories criteria can be found here.

Organisations of all sizes are encouraged to nominate individuals or initiatives they believe are worthwhile of the recognition and be recognised as a leader in creating positive changes in workplace health and safety.

Organisations are encouraged to select an award category that best suits your organisation, and prepare supporting documentation, videos, and written summaries to support the criteria within the category.
