• Open to organisations seeking recognition of their health and safety success, of any size or sector

• A RoSPA Award helps organisations enhance compliance, risk management and reputation

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has officially launched its 2027 Health and Safety Awards, sponsored by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), inviting organisations of all sizes and sectors to demonstrate their commitment to protecting people, preventing accidents and driving continuous improvement in workplace safety.

As well as being an opportunity for health and safety professionals to celebrate the impact of their essential lifesaving work, a RoSPA Award provides independent recognition of an organisation’s commitment to health, safety and wellbeing. This enables them to strengthen assurance, support compliance and effective risk management, enhance their reputation and employer brand, and demonstrate continuous improvement to leadership teams and boards.

Beginning in 1956, the annual RoSPA Health and Safety Awards has grown into the world’s largest and most prestigious awards scheme recognising outstanding achievement in health and safety management. With more than 2,000 entries each year from over 60 countries and over 30 industry sectors represented, a RoSPA Award is a global benchmark for excellence, confirming every winner’s commitment to high health and safety standards.

The awards are open to a diverse range of organisations, from major multinational businesses and public sector bodies to charities, SMEs and fleet operators. Categories include Achievement Awards, which recognise overall health and safety performance; Fleet Safety Awards for organisations managing occupational road risk; and competitive Sector Awards, which enable entrants to benchmark themselves against peers within their industry.

Judged by leading safety experts, the RoSPA Awards is a powerful driver of continuous improvement, demonstrating a commitment to keeping people safe that goes beyond simple compliance, evidencing and influencing positive workforce practices and behaviours, and increasing the organisation’s competitiveness in bids and tenders.

Speaking about the benefits of winning a RoSPA Award, Hannah McConnell, Head of QHSE at international facilities management company OCS said:

“OCS values its participation in the RoSPA Awards as an opportunity to collaborate and recognise our commitment to health and safety, celebrate the dedication of our people, and continually improve standards to ensure everyone goes home safe every day.”
