SafeWork NSW Awards for 2018 are now open for nominations.
The awards, in their 15th year, recognise individuals and organisations which have shown exceptional commitment to health, safety and return-to-work practices in NSW.
Kiama MP Gareth Ward said The Lacket Company from Kiama Downs won the Best Solution to an Identified Workplace Health and Safety Issue in the annual awards last year.
“These awards give us an opportunity to recognise workplaces that are putting their employees first, and setting a great example for other organisations,” he said.
“It was fantastic to see The Lacket Company win an award last year.
“I know many other workplaces in the region share the same passion for workplace health and safety.”
The NSW Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation Matt Kean, who is responsible for SafeWork NSW, said that the Illawarra is known for innovation and forward-thinking.
“These awards recognise the importance of these qualities being used when it comes to improving workplace health and safety,” Mr Kean said.
“At the end of the day, workplace health and safety is everyone’s responsibility.”
