EFT Report, Canberra: The finalists in the 8th annual Safe Work Australia Awards (the Awards) were announced on Jan. 30, 2013 by the Chief Executive Officer of Safe Work Australia, Mr. Rex Hoy.
In commending this year’s finalists Mr. Hoy acknowledged the outstanding contributions they had made to improve work health and safety.
"The 29 finalists across five categories have demonstrated what can be achieved through dedication and taking an innovative approach to work health and safety,” said Mr. Hoy.
“The high caliber of this year’s entrants shows the level of commitment there is in our nation to keeping workers free from death, injury and illness.”
All finalists were category winners in their respective 2012 state, territory or Commonwealth work health and safety awards.
Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Canberra on Monday, April 29.
“In 2010-11, 220 workers in Australia died from a work-related traumatic injury with more than 170 000 workers injured badly enough to need five or more days off work,” said Mr. Hoy.
“This is more than the population of a city each year being seriously injured at work.
“It demonstrates why we need to keep work health and safety at the top of our minds each and every day.
“As this year’s finalists demonstrate it is possible to make a difference and reduce work-related death, injury and illness in organizations of all sizes.
“Congratulations again to this year’s finalists and thank you for helping to ensure healthy, safe and productive working lives for Australians.”
