Good at safe maintenance?

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is inviting nominations for the tenth European Good Practice Awards in occupational health and safety.

The 2010-11 award scheme will recognise companies or organisations that have made outstanding and innovative contributions to promote an integrated management approach to safe maintenance.

European campaign
The European campaign is organised by EU-OSHA in cooperation with the Member States and the Presidency of the European Union. One of the principal activities to support the campaign is the European Good Practice Awards scheme that is organised specifically to identify examples of good practice related to safe maintenance.

What are the awards?
The awards aim to demonstrate, by example, the benefits of following good safety and health practices to all European employers and workers, intermediaries including the social partners, OSH professionals and practitioners, and others providing assistance and information at workplace level. Those selected will be recognised for their role in improving working conditions in Europe. In addition:

A representative of the selected enterprises/organisations will be invited to the European Awards Ceremony in spring 2011
The examples will be presented in an Agency booklet to be widely distributed across Europe and on the EU-OSHA website.
The awards will be given in two categories - for workplaces employing less than 100 workers, and those with 100 or more workers.
