Occupational Health & Safety Awards
The annual RoSPA Awards are a key fixture in the health and safety calendar. They offer organisations a prime opportunity to prove their ongoing commitment to raising health and safety standards.
The scheme, started in 1956, is one of the longest-running and most highly-respected occupational award programmes. Entry submissions are judged impartially on merit, and with no Members-only restriction the RoSPA Awards are open to organisations of all sizes from across the wide spectrum of industries and all over the world.
The scheme comprises three categories - Achievement Awards, Industry Sector Awards, and Specialist Awards.
Winning organisations benefit from:
Winning organisations benefit from positive PR opportunities - including coverage in the media and trade journals.
- Positive PR opportunities - including coverage in the media and trade journals
- Recognition from customers, suppliers, peers and competitors
- Increased staff motivation and participation in improving health and safety
- Displaying their award and using the logo on corporate literature and websites
- Enhanced company profile when seeking repeat or new business opportunities
The threat of prosecution under corporate manslaughter laws and other changes to legislation make it more important than ever for organisations to be able to demonstrate that they are on top of health and safety, with well-established policies and practices.
Having a unique selling point such as being a RoSPA award winner can make a real difference when it comes to seeking new business, and can help to ensure that organisations retain existing business, particularly in difficult economic times.
