The British Safety Coun
cil has launched its prestigious 2014 Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour awards, designed to recognise and celebrate exemplary management of health, safety and environmental risks by businesses around the world.
The two awards are open to organisations from all countries and business sectors that have achieved the maximum five stars in the British Safety Council’s independent Five Star health, safety and environmental management audits between August 2013 and July 2014. Organisations must be able to demonstrate that they have a proven track record and a culture of best practice for excellence in these key areas at all levels throughout the business.
Commenting on the awards, Alex Botha, chief executive, British Safety Council said, “The Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour are highly prestigious accolades that recognise the huge commitment and effort of the winning organisations and their employees in achieving and sustaining the highest standards of health, safety and environmental practice. Sensible and proportionate health, safety and environmental management is of great social and economic value: it protects people and the environment and is good for business.”
The closing date for applications is 12 September 2014 and the results will be announced on 10 October 2014.
