Workplace Safety and Health Awards 2008

WSH Awards This year, the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), aims to reward both organisations and persons for actively striving to create safer and healthier workplaces to protect the most valuable of assets, the employees. There are seven categories of awards up for grabs this year that reward varying achievements of organisations, teams and individuals.

In 2006, the Awards underwent a radical transformation to meet changing aims and audience. The resultant Annual Safety and Health Performance Awards (ASHPA) is a production that gives equal limelight to occupational health. It was also in 2006, that winners of the ASHPA, Occupational Safety and Health Best Practices Awards (OSHBPA) and the Innovation for OSH Awards received their awards at the same ceremony - the Workplace Safety & Health Awards 2006. Two new awards were introduced in 2007. The Safety and Health Award Recognition for Projects (SHARP) were presented to projects or worksites that achieved good safety and health performance through implementation of effective workplace safety and health management system. The Workplace Safety and Health Officer Awards were presented to 3 WSHOs in recognition of their exemplary performance and valuable contribution in safety and health.
