Safety savings can win you £1,000
16 September 2011
Have you come up with an innovation to
improve health and safety in a small business? Has the firm saved
money because of it?
If yes, then enter the IOSH/HSE Innovation in Safety – Small
Business Award to be in with a chance of winning £1,000 and a free
two-day pass to the IOSH 2012 Conference and Exhibition, the
largest health and safety conference in the UK.
The competition is open to all IOSH members, and is an
outstanding opportunity to get industry-wide recognition. If you
win, you’ll be promoted on the IOSH and HSE websites, in SHP
magazine and Connect – IOSH’s e-bulletin, and the IOSH channel on
YouTube. We’ll let the winner know on 20 February 2012 and
formally present their award on 6 March 2012 at the IOSH Conference
and Exhibition in Manchester.
This year, the competition is themed around IOSH’s Life Savings campaign, which showcases how good
health and safety management not only saves lives, but can actually
save businesses hard cash. Your entries will help prove that health
and safety is not a burden on small businesses, and by doing it
well, you can actually improve the bottom line.
Judith Donovan CBE, past board director of the HSE and founder
of the award, said:
“This year we’re looking for anything that helps a small firm do
health and safety better, that makes their employees safer when
they go to work, that makes the firm more efficient and profitable,
and anything that celebrates why health and safety is the hall mark
of a civilised society and not an unnecessary regulatory
burden.”
Your idea has to be original, and already have been put into
practice in a small business with proven results.
Listen to an
audioboo with Judith Donovan where she talks more about the
award and what she expects from entries.
