Sword and Globe safety awards
21st June 2016

The BRITISH SAFETY COUNCIL has launched its 2016 Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour awards, designed to recognise health, safety and environmental management excellence worldwide.

To be awarded a Sword of Honour or Globe of Honour, an organisation must be able to demonstrate to an independent adjudication panel that it has a proven track record and a culture of best practice for excellence in health and safety or environmental management that runs throughout the business – from the shop floor to the boardroom. The Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour are an important part of the British Safety Council’s drive to recognise and celebrate exemplary health, safety and environmental management in the workplace.

Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: “The Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour awards shine a light on businesses which are at the forefront of achieving safe, healthy and sustainable workplaces and business practices. The awards celebrate their efforts and encourage other organisations worldwide to follow their lead.”

The 2016 awards mark the 37th year of the Sword of Honour, awarded for health and safety management excellence, and the seventh year of the Globe of Honour, awarded for best practice in environmental management.

The closing date for applications is 2 September 2016 and the results will be announced on 7 October 2016. The winning organisations will be invited to a celebratory luncheon on Friday 25 November 2016 at the historic Drapers’ Hall in the City of London to receive their awards.
