Glasgow RoSPA Awards Excellence Forum: Breakfast
Networking Session

Thursday, May 25, 2023

DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central
 

This forum is generously sponsored by HSE Recruitment

   

What are the Awards Excellence Forum Events?

Each entrant into the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards gains access to the Awards Excellence Forum – free of charge – which enables you to join any of our networking events throughout the year. These events will provide you with access to a network of likeminded RoSPA Award entrants, offering support and sharing advice that can help with refining and improving your award entry and previous results, and also your safety management systems and career on a wider level.

 

Why attend the Awards Excellence Forum Events?

An estimated 2.3 million people around the world die from work-related accidents or diseases every year, which equates to more than 6,000 deaths every single day. In total, there are around 340 million occupational accidents, and 160million victims of work-related illnesses annually. Within the UK alone, work-related accidents and ill health translate to an estimated annual cost of £15billion.
 
Work-related accidents and ill health cause major disruption to business processes, negatively impact corporate reputation, can lead to major legal penalties, and have a lasting effect on the quality of life of the individual involved, their family, their friends and their colleagues. That’s why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded.
 
Our Awards Excellence Forum Events provide the opportunity to hear presentations from different organisations, which are in different stages in their RoSPA awards and safety journeys.

 

How to register?

This year, our Awards Excellence Forum will return to Scotland, and will be co-located with one of our prestigious Awards Ceremonies. The forum will take place Thursday, May 25, 2023, at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Glasgow Central. This will take place as a Breakfast Networking Session. The awards will take place at the same venue.
