The National Safety Awards is encouraging people and businesses to get nominating, which can be done via this link.
Last year’s Overall Winner was Transdev Australasia, who in 2012:
“… identified that previous safety communication had been inconsistent and impersonal, and that localised issues had been overlooked in favour of a ‘blanket’ approach. Learning from these findings, the 2013 ‘Safety Starts With Me’ campaign aimed to re-engage with workers to strengthen Transdev’s safety culture, further embed safety as core value and reduce injuries.
“The 2013 ‘Safety Starts With Me’ campaign adopted a multifaceted approach with a consistent safety message tailored to their business, locations and staff. They provided consistent and user-friendly material over a range of delivery platforms, resulting in a 14% decrease in their Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate, across overall operations, between 2012 and 2013.”
