After a bumper 2021, when nearly 2,000 entries from 49 countries were received, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Health and Safety Awards 2022 are now open for registrations.

A number of prestigious Oman-based organisations, including STOMO, Oman Sustainable Water Services (S.A.O.C) and Douglas OHI LCC have already benefitted from the RoSPA Awards. 

This year, Douglas OHI LCC were recognised at the RoSPA Awards for their outstanding commitment to health and safety and were presented with their fourth consecutive RoSPA Gold Award and a Fleet Safety Silver Award.

A spokesperson from Douglas OHI LCC said “The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely challenging for everyone, and we cannot express how honoured we are to have achieved this Award during this period. Douglas OHI is defined by its remarkable people and we place their health, safety and wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do. Achieving the Award is an acknowledgement of the hard work of our teams across the business.

“We are delighted to be actively involved in promoting best practice, and look forward to delivering our continued commitment to the awards scheme to further raise health and safety standards.”

As well as offering non-competitive achievement awards – in which Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merits are awarded – entrants can bid to be crowned the winner across a range of industry sectors

Awards entrants also gain access to a growing, worldwide community of like-minded professionals through the Awards Excellence Forum, sponsored by HSE Recruitment, a place to share and learn from best practice, enabling the improvement of health and safety systems globally through regular events and seminars. In addition, those looking to gain the highest possible accolade can partner with high-performing entrants as part of the mentorship programme.

A new requirement for this year is that entrants will be asked to reflect on how they have managed health and safety issues connected to COVID-19 and identified the learning that can be brought forward. The application process will examine how organisations have supported their staff with the challenges associated with both working from home, and the reintegration to traditional workplaces after time spent away.

Julia Small, Achievements Director at RoSPA, said: “While RoSPA is rooted in the UK, our outlook is international. For more than 65 years, by working with our fantastic entrants from around the world, we are driving up health and safety standards making sure more and more people leave work unharmed each and every day.

“RoSPA already have a strong track record of supporting health and safety teams in Oman and we look forward to receiving more awards submissions and recognising excellence”

As part of an ongoing commitment to improving the awards experience, RoSPA have streamlined the process for registration, which will be of particular benefit to the many organisations who enter multiple sites.

The RoSPA Awards 2022 are now open for registration and there are discounts available for RoSPA members.
