After a bumper 2021, when nearly
2,000 entries from 49 countries were received, the RoSPA Health and Safety
Awards 2022 are now open for registrations.
As well as offering non-competitive
achievement awards – in which Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merits are awarded –
entrants can bid to be crowned the winner across a range of industry sectors.
Awards entrants also gain access to
a growing, worldwide community of likeminded professionals through the Awards Excellence Forum, sponsored by HSE
Recruitment, a place to share and learn from best practice, enabling the
improvement of health and safety systems globally, through regular events and
seminars. In addition, those looking to gain the highest possible accolade can
partner with high-performing entrants as part of the mentorship programme.
New for this year, is the “Inspiring
Women in Safety Award”, sponsored by L’Oréal, which will be presented to an
individual who has made a significant impact in the world of health, safety and
wellbeing. This may relate to activities within the workplace, or by use of
their skills and expertise outside of their employment. RoSPA judges will
consider how nominees have been a source of inspiration and a champion for
gender, diversity and inclusion.
Another key change for the RoSPA
Awards in 2022, is that entrants will be asked to reflect on how they have
managed health and safety issues connected to COVID-19 and identified the
learning that can be brought forward. The application process will examine how
organisations have supported their staff with the challenges associated with
both working from home, and the reintegration to traditional workplaces after
time spent away.
Julia Small, Achievements Director
at RoSPA, said: “For morethan 65 years, by
working with our fantastic entrants, we are driving up health and safety
standards around the world, making sure more and more people leave work
unharmed each and every day.
“Through the Awards Excellence
Forum, entrants share how they are constantly improving their health and safety
practices, and the entry process itself enables practitioners and teams to
reflect and learn – and they earn points along with CPD.
“Finally, as part of ongoing
commitment to improving the awards experience, we have streamlined the process
for registration, which will be of particular benefit to the many organisations
who enter multiple sites.
“We look forward to receiving
submissions and celebrating achievements.”
The RoSPA Awards 2022 are now open
for registration. Early-bird discounts are available to those registering
before November 1, 2021, and there are further discounts for RoSPA members.
