Safety Ambassador of the Year nominations now open

Nominations are now open for the the Safety Ambassador of the Year Award.

The award recognises individuals who have led by example, raised awareness of the importance of a safe working environment and encouraged others to get involved in work health and safety over the past 12 months.

The winner will be promoted nationally by Safe Work Australia as a leader in work health and safety through media coverage and the Safe Work Australia website.

To enter the Safety Ambassador of the Year Award, firstly you need to register as a Safety Ambassador as part of Safe Work Australia Week. A Safety Ambassador is someone with a passion for work health and safety who is willing to lead by example and motivate their workplace to participate in Safe Work Australia Week.

National Safe Work Australia Week will be celebrated from 21-27 October. It encourages all working Australians to focus on improving health and safety in their workplaces to reduce death, injury and disease.

Entries close on 24 September and the winner will be announced at the end of October.
