QPA Health and Safety Best Practice Awards 2008 Now Live and Online
Scheme open to Members and Non-Members via www.safequarry.com
The QPA, the principal trade body for the quarry products sector,
has launched entry process for the 2008 Health and Safety Best
Practice Awards. With the Awards Ceremony taking place on 17 October
this year, the next few months will see companies from across
the quarry products sector enter submissions to the scheme showcasing
the best and most innovative health and safety practice.
Last year's record-breaking event saw over 200 entries into the
scheme, which is arranged across a number of criteria reflecting
health and safety priorities for the industry. For 2008, some
amalgamations and improvements to the criteria have been made,
with the schedule now covering:
- Occupational Health, Hygiene and Welfare
- Slips, Trips and Falls (including from height)
- Management of Contractors and/or Hauliers
- Worker Involvement
- Prevention of Bitumen Spills
- Technical Initiatives
- Training Initiatives
- Management Initiatives
Trophies will be awarded for the outstanding entry in each category
along with certificates of merit recognising best practice. Overarching
awards for both small and major companies will also be presented
for across-the-board achievement.
Companies can now enter the awards through the QPA's new online
entry system, designed to make participation easier and quicker
than ever before - visit www.safequarry.com
and click the Awards button on the homepage. The scheme is open
to QPA members and non-member companies alike, ensuring that the
sector can benefit from the widest possible range of ideas from
all with a stake in our industry. The submission deadline is Friday
28 March.
Advice on entering is available from Martin Isles, QPA's Director,
Health and Safety, on 020 7963 8000 or isles@qpa.org.
