On the one hand, I share your sentiments Steve (it’s not my bag either), There’s loads of excellent progressive safety professionals out there that do a good job in stopping their company being mentioned (and slated) in these columns who are happy just to do that job for a decent salary.

However, on the other hand, if no-one was awarded recognition by the professional body they subscribe to, our IOSH membership wouldn’t have the same status to prospective employers would it. Just a thought

Look at it another way. This is a public statement of commitment to safety to the board, employees, customers and also the HSE. Having the endorsement of such a prestigious panel and external verification that you are going in the right direction is certainly worth having.
Also, how about encouragement to all involved in the safety programme to achieve even greater things?

Ms Hackitt had us in stitches with the FFI joke? Really? What event was this journalist at? There were groans at this attempted joke and derisive mutterings but not many laughs.

I never understand the need for back slapping and self promotion, surely knowing you have done ones job to the best of ones ability is reward enough. As is a rewarding remuneration off ones employer?

Steve, these awards are about out of the ordinary achievement which other people can learn from and apply to their own organisations. It’s about sharing best practice within the profession.
