Certificate of Merit Awards 2009 and 2010
Back in May, local heroes were rewarded for their efforts to
help make their workplaces healthy and safe at an awards ceremony
at Hampden Park, Glasgow. In the photograph, taken outside
Hampden Stadium, are the 2009 Certificate of Merit winners and
proposers as well as IOSH President, Nattasha Freeman and IOSH West
of Scotland Branch Chairman, Alan Kirkwo
od. All
photos from the day can be viewed in our Event History. With 2009 drawing to a
close, nominations are invited for the 2010 awards. The IOSH
West of Scotland Branch presents its Certificate of Merit Awards to
deserving individuals from across its region who are considered to
have made a major contribution towards health & safety within
their workplace. First presented in 1992, the award
recognises the efforts of employees who, although not health and
safety professionals themselves, have made an outstanding
contribution to health and safety in their place of
work.
Alan Kirkwood, chairman of the West of Scotland Branch of IOSH,
said: “The Certificate of Merit Awards provide an opportunity to
celebrate the success of health and safety champions in the
workplace. Through their personal contribution, everyone who
received the award is making peoples lives safer, as well as
improving their health and wellbeing.”
Should members have a suitable candidate for nomination for the
2010 Certificate of Merit Award, please download the
proposal form and ensure it is submitted to the Branch
Secretary no later than 28 February 2010 (note –
there will be no exception to the cut off date).
Based on merit, the number of award winners will be restricted
following scrutiny by the Executive Committee, whose decision will
be final in all cases. Many multiple applications from the same
organisations will result in disappointment.
The IOSH West of Scotland Branch Certificate of Merit Awards
Ceremony will take place at the Branch Dinner on the evening of
22nd April 2010 at Hampden Park, Glasgow. IOSH President, John
Holden, will present the Awards.
