NFRC Health, Safety and Environment in Roofing Awards 2023 are now open!
The Awards aim to promote a positive attitude to health and safety and the environment, to reduce accidents and hazards, which in turn will help the industry, our clients, government bodies and the public sector. The benefit of being an NFRC Member is quite clearly seen in the comparison of the latest HSE accident statistics. These show on average 4.1 per cent of skilled construction and building trade workers are injured at work each year, whereas the same figure for NFRC Members is only 0.26 per cent. The Awards have three levels of achievement: Gold, Silver and Bronze. When assessing the applications, the judging panel review that contractors are abiding by current health and safety legislation, with the higher awards going to contractors that go beyond what is considered standard good practice. To enable the judges to understand your organisation's achievements, it is important that you provide detailed information on how you manage risks well, and how you engage with your employees and labour-only sub-contractors in promoting safe and healthy working practices.
Please note that for those questions that require a written response, the more pertinent the information provided, the better it is for judges to assess the application. The entry submission process for the Health, Safety and Environment in Roofing Awards is via an online Microsoft form. Whilst this is the most stable platform to submit your entry, it doesn't allow the user to save a part-completed form for future content. This means when you submit your entry, you will need to ensure that you have all the information required to answer each question. Attached is a list of the questions so you can collate all the information before visiting the online portal and submitting your entry. The deadline for entries is Friday 12 January 2024. Applications received after this date will not be accepted.
