Nominations are open for the 2021 SafeWork NSW Awards, which acknowledge NSW businesses, industry associations and unions that have come up with innovative solutions to help workers at risk.
NSW Better Regulation and Innovation Minister Kevin Anderson said this year’s theme will be workers at risk. The theme highlights businesses that have embedded health and safety into their high-risk work environments to ensure every job is designed to be safe.
“Nominations are now open and we want to celebrate those who have come up with innovative solutions to support the safety of their employees,” Anderson said.
