Definitions & Guidelines
To assist you with this application the judges have provided some guidelines.
When providing your answers, the “For Example” / guidelines we have suggested for each question are not intended to be exhaustive. They are designed as examples and prompts to help you understand the judges’ requirements. It is important that where you state that you have evidence in support of the specific question you are answering, you need to provide that evidence – usually, a generic brochure or company overview is not sufficient.
Safety
HMA is keen to see initiatives that have been identified, driven and resolved within our region (Hunter, Central Coast, Mid North Coast).
Nominations are open to any manufacturing company that has introduced an innovative safety program that has contributed to an improvement in the health, safety and well-being of employees, customers or the community (please provide evidence of this where requested, e.g. lost Time Injury / Medical Treatment Injury figures, number of injuries and near misses, number of day’s injury free, impact on workers compensation policy, sick days, etc.).
The judges will look for examples of innovation in safety and safety systems demonstrated by, but not limited to, ‘out of the ordinary’ safety systems approach, positive impact on employee safety, health and well-being, improved employee motivation and morale, evidence of the development of a ‘safety culture’, hazard and / or risk / accident reduction and increased awareness of WH&S procedures/policies.
Note – Applicants may find that their application into the Excellence in Safety category may also be a ‘fit’ for another category, such as People Skills and Development, Manufacturing Process, etc. By adapting the information to fit the criteria of other categories you give yourself the opportunity for your product, process etc to be profiled in more than one sector.
