“There are many businesses out there that have come up with ingenious ways to overcome safety risks to protect their workers, boost their productivity and reduce their costs,” Employment and Industrial Relations Minister John Mickel said.

“We want to hear from anyone who has developed an innovative workplace health and safety solution, system or initiative, but they need to act quickly as entries close at 5pm on Tuesday July 31, 2007."

Entries can be submitted in more than one category including best workplace health and safety management system; best solution to an identified health and safety issue; best workplace health and safety practices in small business; best individual contribution to workplace health and safety; and best solution to an identified electrical safety issue.

Winners will be announced during Work Safe Week held October 21–27, 2007.
