O
pen to businesses and organisations of all types and
sizes from across the UK and overseas, the RoSPA
Awards is the largest and longest-running occupational
safety awards programme in the UK and recognises
organisations’ commitment to accident and ill-health
prevention.
Running parallel to these awards will be the Guardian Angel
Awards - based on a nomination process and designed to
recognise individuals who have worked tirelessly to promote
safety in their workplace or community.
Presentation ceremonies for the internationally recognised
RoSPA Awards will once again be held in London, co-located with
Safety and Health International 2015 (formerly Safety and Health
Expo), as well as in Birmingham and Glasgow.
They will take place at ExCeL Exhibition Centre London on
June 16, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on July 14-15 and the
Hilton Glasgow on September 17.
Thousands of winners and their guests will attend RoSPA’s
daytime ceremonies and evening gala dinners to receive their
accolades.
To enter for a non-competitive occupational health and
safety achievement award, entrants need to register at www.
rospa.com/awards/ by January 9th 2015, for the Birmingham
and London ceremonies and April 30th 2015, for the Glasgow
ceremony.
There is an early registration discount for organisations that
register by November 20, 2014. All organisations wishing to
enter for a competitive industry sector or specialist award must
register by January 9, regardless of which ceremony they would
attend to receive any resulting award.
The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark
achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold
medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction are
presented to organisations sustaining high standards over time.
Competitive awards go to the best entries in 22 industry
sectors including construction, healthcare, transport and
logistics, engineering, manufacturing and education.
There are specialist awards for workforce involvement,
occupational health, environmental management and
managing occupational road risk (MORR), and a trophy for the
best organisation operating or based in Scotland. RoSPA’s top
accolade is the Sir George Earle Trophy.
Tom Mullarkey, RoSPA’s chief executive said: “RoSPA awards
are the most sought after and highly regarded accolades
within the safety industry and receiving one showcases an
organisation’s safety commitment to its peers,
