Australian Work Health & Safety Awards 2021

The inaugural Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards which were held earlier this year was a timely reminder of the outstanding work taking place in workplaces across the country. The Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards (AWHSA) aims to recognise organisations and individuals located throughout Australia who have exhibited excellence in field of Workplace Health & Safety. Although the much anticipated Melbourne Convention centre awards conference was swapped for a virtual awards, organisations and individuals came together to submit applications and nominations with an overwhelming amount of goodwill, groundswell and support. The finalists and winners were commended by peers, their organisations and national media and importantly some of the initiatives have been shared and the awards has facilitated sharing and conversations across our industry.

The AIHS National Health and Safety Conference will be held from 18-19 May 2021 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

If you are an OH&S professional or member of an organisation, large or small and are aware of an initiative, company or team who have been doing outstanding work and should be recognised, encourage them to submit a nomination via a straightforward nomination process which is available on the AWHSA website (http://awhsa.org.au)
