The globally renowned RoSPA Health & Safety Awards return for 2019. Organisations of all shapes and sizes from across the globe apply in their thousands for the chance to receive a prestigious award. In a competitive market, it’s essential to stand out from the crown, and the Awards offer the perfect platform to do this. Plus, they provide the opportunity to celebrate your organisations tireless ongoing commitment to raising health and safety standards, and win a coveted RoSPA Award.

What’s new for 2019?

Brand new for 2019, RoSPA have launched new categories, including the Inspiration Awards, which celebrate individuals, teams and initiative that are a source of pride worthy of shouting about. The [email protected] [email protected] Award celebrates organisations that have managed to spread the safety message outside of the workplace ensuring employees remain safe both at work and at home. The Leisure Safety Awards recognise excellence in this growing service sector. Not sure which category to enter? Take a look at the full list and see which award is most relevant to your organisation.

Why should you enter the awards?

When organisations enter our awards they tend to stay part of our vibrant awards community, pivotal in improving health and safety standards, wherever you work and live. Being a #RoSPAWinner not only raises your profile and generates positive coverage for your organisation, it also unlocks additional benefits such as exclusive membership to RoSPA’s Awards Excellence Forum. Plus, with the London Ceremony being held alongside Safety & Health Expo, it enables you to make the most of the exhibition on 18-20 June 2019.

This year also marks the 14th consecutive year that renowned awarding body NEBOSH, will be headline sponsor to the awards. Director of Technical Standards at NEBOSH, and judge on the Awards panel, Dee Arp, remarked in a recent blog how “each year I am amazed by the quality of the RoSPA Award winners and the hundreds of organisations who demonstrate their commitment to raising health and safety standards… please do enter your organisation.”

Awards Excellence Forum

Being a RoSPA Award Winner gives you exclusive access to The RoSPA Awards Excellence Forum. This ever-growing exclusive group brings together a network of likeminded professionals, offering members a chance to support and share advice that can help with not only award entries, but also careers. Regular events are held in venues across the country (previous venues include the remarkable Churchill War Rooms in London!). Make connections, hear presentations, and get great advice… a truly unique opportunity that’s not to be missed. Read case studies from Awards Excellence Forum members, and find out why you should be getting involved.

Celebrate with the best in the industry!

RoSPA Award Winners certainly know how to work hard, so it’s only apt they’re given a great night to celebrate their achievements! Attended by guests from some of the most renowned companies in the industry, over three days and three venues in London, Birmingham and Glasgow, guests are wined, dined and entertained by a celebrity after dinner guest and live band at the prestigious RoSPA Awards Gala Dinner and presentation ceremonies. We want everyone to be involved that’s why the presentation ceremonies are completely free to attend and we encourage winners to bring along as many colleagues and stakeholders as possible. Every Award winning organisation is also entitled to one free ticket to the gala dinner, additional tickets can be purchased with discounts on full tables.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

RoSPA: The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents

Accidents are the biggest threat to you and your family for most your life. In fact, more than 14,000 people die as a result of accidents across the UK each year, while thousands more are maimed and millions are injured. Businesses are ruined. Families are devastated. Children grow up without parents, parents without children.

Yet despite the scale and severity of the problem, accidents are still too often discussed with a shrug of the shoulders. There is a pervasive belief amongst some people that accidents are somehow inevitable. That they can’t be stopped.

Imagine if we took the same attitude towards child abuse. Or cancer.

For almost 100 years, RoSPA has been quietly working behind the scenes to change both legislation and attitudes surrounding accidents. From the compulsory wearing of seatbelts and the campaign to stop drink driving, to the Cycling Proficiency Test and to the more recent ban on handheld mobile phones behind the wheel, RoSPA has been instrumental in shaping our society for the better, preventing millions of deaths and serious injuries along the way.

As a registered charity, we are committed to continuing this legacy of change.
