RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards
Information for entrants
Introduction
Since 1956, RoSPA has organised its prestigious national award scheme to recognise excellence in work-related health and safety performance by private and public sector organisations.
The scheme is based on assessment of a broad portfolio of evidence about the level of development and performance of an entrant’s occupational health and safety management system, and also takes into account the entrant’s reportable accident rate and enforcement experience.
Objectives of the RoSPA Awards
The fundamental purposes are:
- to help motivate occupational health and safety performance improvement in organisations by providing a rising scale of targets to aim at (the Merit, Bronze, Silver
- and Gold achievement awards which form the core of the scheme)
- to provide a means of recognising and celebrating occupational health and safety achievement
- to provide a series of exemplars of good practice, as positive role models for other organisations to learn from and emulate.
The award categories
Achievement Awards: (Merit, Bronze, Silver and Gold) for assessed level of performance.
Sustained Achievement Awards are made automatically to organisations as follows:
- Gold Medal (5-9 consecutive Gold Awards)
- President’s Award (10-14 consecutive Gold Awards)
- Order of Distinction (15+ consecutive Gold Awards).
Industry Sector Awards
These awards are competitive i.e. the judging process involves the comparison of entries to identify the best entry received in each industry sector. Additional commendations may be made at the discretion of the Adjudication Panel.
