BRITISH SAFETY COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL SAFETY AWARDS
“By publicising their success, winning organisations can also help
encourage other employers globally to give workers’ health and
safety the priority it deserves; and spread the message that effective
health and safety management brings real benefits for people,
organisations and society as a whole.”
Congratulating this year’s winners, Neal Stone, said: “2015 marks
the 57th year of the International Safety Awards, which celebrate
organisations from around the world that have demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges their commitment to
preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health during the
2014 calendar year.
“The success criteria for the International Safety Awards is
challenging and that rightly reflects the importance of achieving
good standards of health and safety at work.
“The International Safety Awards shine a light on those
businesses who are taking sensible and effective steps to protect
employees from the risks of work-related injury and ill health,
celebrating their efforts and encouraging other employers
everywhere to give workers’ health and safety the priority it rightly
deserves.”
He added: “Our vision is that no one should be injured or
made ill at work, anywhere in the world, so it is heartening to see
that winners of the 2015 International Safety Awards are truly
international; from Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. to Nigeria Liquefied
