The International Safety Awards relate to the health and safety
management at a specific site or business unit, and organisations
can enter as many sites or divisions as they wish. Applicants answer
12 online questions about their management of health and safety
risks, which are assessed by independent chartered health and
safety professionals. If the application meets the required standard,
a pass, merit or – for really exceptional submissions – a distinction is
awarded.
The 2016 International Safety Awards will open for applications
later in 2015 - register your interest at: www.britsafe.org/isa
