Safety is not just a priority—it's a foundation for sustainable and responsible energy development. Safety by Design integrates health and safety principles directly into the blueprint of energy technologies, transforming them from reactive safeguards into proactive resilience. Supported by SafetyOn and G+, this award recognises pioneering efforts that embed safety into the very core of energy production systems.
The Safety by Design Award celebrates innovations in design, execution, or organisational frameworks that lead to significant reductions in health and safety (H&S) incidents across the energy sector. Whether it's advanced engineering, streamlined workflows, or a cultural shift toward prevention, this award shines a spotlight on leadership in safety innovation.
The judging panel will be looking for:
- Clear evidence of safety integrated in the physical or digital design of systems, machinery, or infrastructure.
- Strategic restructuring, culture-building, or procedural refinements that embed safety into decision-making and daily operations.
- Documented improvements in H&S performance, such as incident rate reductions or enhanced safety compliance.
- Approaches that are replicable, resilient, and contribute to a long-term safety culture across the sector.
