2012 WorkSafe Award nominations now open
Nominations for the 2012 WorkSafe Victoria Awards are now open, with WorkSafe calling on people and business that are ‘making a difference’ to enter.
The new online entry system takes just 10 minutes. There are categories for workplace safety, return to work initiatives and workplace health and wellbeing programs.
“We want to hear from people making big changes and small changes. It all makes a difference and reinforces Victoria’s position of being the safest state in the country,” WorkSafe Deputy Chief Executive Ian Forsyth said.
“Reflecting the rising interest in social media, people visiting the awards website can look at details of the entrants and show their support by hitting the ‘like’ button.
“The awards remain a highlight of Work Safe Week in October, and we will also recognise WorkSafe Champions three times per year, to celebrate and encourage a wider range of effort across the community.”
The Champions, finalists and winners will receive a professional video of their initiative, an official certificate and a special email sign-off to help promote their entry.
The deadline to enter for the first round of WorkSafe Champions is 31 May. Visit the WorkSafe Awards website at www.worksafeawards.com.au.
