Nominate a Rising Star in Health and Safety

To celebrate the future leaders of the profession, we invite you to nominate a Rising Star in Health and Safety, as part of UK Health and Safety Week 2016.

The award, supported by the British Safety Council, RoSPA, BOHS, and the Association for Project Safety, is designed to recognise the achievements of people new to the profession making a difference in their organisation.

Following on from a focus on occupational health in 2015, this year UK Health and Safety Week is celebrating new talent within the health and safety profession.

The newest addition to Safety & Health Expo, the training and careers zone, will host targeted sessions for people starting out in the profession including a panel discussion on the various qualifications available and the pros and cons of each.

The Rising Star in Health and Safety award ceremony will take place at 12.30pm on the 23rd June at Safety & Health Expo, and the winner will receive a whole host of prizes to provide a perfect springboard for their career including:

• a pass to the British Safety Council’s annual conference in September;
• a year’s subscription to the British Safety Council’s magazine;
• one year’s affiliate membership with IIRSM, including 12 copies of Health and Safety at Work and Insight;
• a place on a IIRSM 1/2 or one day training event of their choice;
• two awards tickets to the APS National Awards in October;
• VIP attendance at the prestigious RoSPA Awards, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2016, including an invitation to the presidents drinks reception, in July; and
• a 2 hour coaching session with Acre Frameworks focused on understanding and developing the behavioural competencies critical for success in the profession.

If you know someone new to the profession who has gone above and beyond to make an impact in their organisation, enter them for the Rising Star in Health and Safety Awards.

The deadline for submissions is 20th May 2016.
