ELIGIBILITY
Each application covers a single site or business unit. Applicants wishing to enter several sites or business units must complete a separate application for each one.
Between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022 the site/business unit must not have:
- Suffered any work-related fatalities
- Been subject to any prohibition notices
- Been the subject of any convictions in relation to health and safety
- Had any ongoing criminal investigations or prosecutions pending in relation to health and safety at the site/business unit.
British Safety Council reserves the right to withhold, suspend or withdraw at any time the awarding of an International Safety Award, should any applicant organisation have not met the eligibility criteria or failed to fully disclose all material facts which bring their eligibility into question.
Improvement notices
An improvement notice at the site does not preclude applicants from entering for an award. However, if an improvement notice has been served at this site since 1 January 2022, applicants must declare this and satisfy the adjudicators that adequate remedial measures have been implemented.
Specified (reportable) injuries/occupational ill health/dangerous occurrences
A specified (reportable) injury, incidence of occupational ill health or dangerous occurrence at the site does not preclude applicants from entering for an award. However, if there has been such an incident at this site since 1 January 2022, applicants must declare this and satisfy the adjudicators that appropriate remedial actions have been implemented to minimise the risk of a similar incident occurring again.
