The All Ireland Safety Awards
Run in conjunction with Northern Ireland Safety Group (NISG), the Safety Awards recognise how organisations manage health and safety at work.
- Organisations send their paper-based submissions to be reviewed by health and safety professionals during spring time;
- The winners are notified in late August or early September what class of award they have achieved;
- The winners are invited to attend the Awards Ceremony Dinner which is typically held in early October;
- The list of winners is published, after the event, in several respected publications such as The Health and Safety Review and the Sunday Business Post as well as on the NISO website and NISO Update magazine.
