Call for safety entries ends soon

Ansell has become a sponsor of the National Safety Council of Australia’s (NSCA’s) National Safety Awards of Excellence. Now in its 21st year, the awards recognise outstanding work health and safety (WHS) initiatives and are open to any Australian business, organisation or individual with a compelling safety story.

Last year’s winners included Ten Group, for its risk-based approach that resulted in more than 600 injury-free days. Best Solution of an OHS Workplace Risk was awarded to StaminaLift International for its innovative hospital bed mover that was designed to prevent injuries by enabling the movement of up to a 500 kg load with simple fingertip control.

A not-for-profit organisation, the NSCA provides safety, risk consulting and training services throughout Australia. “The National Safety Awards of Excellence are a great way to raise the profile of safety professionals and their employers,” said NSCA’s CEO, Adam Baldock. “Many organisations use this event to benchmark their safety performance, which drives innovation and engagement across the whole industry.”

Nominations are closing on 14 July and can be made at www.nationalsafetyawards.com.au.

“Events like these provide a positive and inspirational environment in which to share ideas with safety industry leaders,” said David Nicholls, Ansell’s Marketing Manager.

The winners will be announced 17 October.
