About the awards

The EFFC is running its second annual Health & Safety Awards this year.

There are two categories available for members to enter: one celebrating project-based teams who have set new safety standards, and a second focusing on outstanding company health and wellbeing programmes. Please see details below:

Safety Innovations Award

For companies that have set new safety standards or introduced new safety innovations. This award celebrates project-based teams and those working on site, who are leading the way to improve safety standards in the workplace.

Health and Wellbeing Programme Award

This award looks at company initiatives or interventions that improve the health and wellbeing of site teams. This can include initiatives to improve physical or mental health, programmes to reduce the long-term health risks typically associated with work in construction, or maybe access to support lifestyle changes.

These awards are your chance to showcase the important work being done by your team.

There are awards available for bronze, silver, and gold entries, and each winner shall be invited to a presentation at the EFFC AGM in Rome, Italy this October, with their flights and hotel costs covered.

Each winner will also participate in a webinar after the EFFC AGM so that they can inspire other organisations that may wish to implement the winning initiatives.
