Safe Australia Award winners announced

Outstanding workplace safety initiatives developed in Australia have been recognised at the 2008 national Safe Work Australia Awards, presented in Canberra last month.

Thirty-seven finalists from a broad range of industries and organisations competed in five categories, ranging from the best workplace health and safety management system to the best individual contribution to workplace health and safety.

Finalists in each of the five Awards categories were winners of occupational health and safety awards in their state or territory. An independent judging panel considered each finalist's award submission before deciding on the final winners.

The Awards focus attention on one of the most important aspects of employment for everyone - safety in the workplace.
