The Leadership excellence award is presented to an organisation that has demonstrated its commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace. The final award category, the Health and safety representative of the year award, recognises an elected health and safety representative who has made a significant contribution and demonstrable difference to health and safety in the workplace.
