Safe Work Award nominations now open

Industrial Relations Minister Michael Wright has opened nominations for South Australia’s Safe Work Awards to recognise outstanding achievements in OHS.

• Best Solution to an Identified Workplace Health & Safety System
• Best Workplace Health & Safety Practices in Small Business
• Public Sector Leadership Award for Injury Prevention & Management
