SGUK Awards for 2022
The judging panel for the SGUK Innovation and Development Through Education Awards 2022 has concluded its judging. The judges were very impressed with the variety and calibre of entries, which always makes choosing an overall winner difficult.
It is therefore my pleasure to inform you of the results and pass on my congratulations to those who achieved awards, theirs was an outstanding achievement of which they should be very proud. We hope that it will inspire them and others to enter next year, remember entries are free.
SGUK Innovation Awards
Overall winner and winner of the Lord Cullen Trophy was Adman Civil Projects Ltd for their entry: “Emergency Peat Rescue Innovation – Using materials and equipment readily available onsite”.
The judges recognised that this was a response to a real workplace health and safety issue. Their entry showed innovation throughout and will have a lasting legacy.
The Overall Winner’s Safety Group and winner of the Alan Porter Rose Bowl was the Northern Ireland Safety Group
The entry that took 2nd place and winner of the Stevenson Shield was Sonomatic RAIS for their entry: “Sonomatic Magnetic Laser Cleaning and Inspection Crawler”.
The judges acknowledged that this was an innovative technical response to significant health and safety risks related to the entry of vessels for cleaning and inspection. The entry they submitted for the Innovation Awards showed real promise and should make a great improvement to an important area of health and safety in the workplace.
Of the entries received for the Innovation Awards, the entry from Craigie High School was selected to be Highly Commended by the judges for its innovation.
SGUK Development Through Education Awards
Overall winner and winner of the Scottish Chamber of Safety silver punch bowl was Craigie High School for their entry: “WATCH YOUR BACK film. LOcHER Project.” Watch Your Back - a #LOcHERproject by Craigie High School - YouTube
The development through education presented was outstanding. The judges loved that they took a traditional health and safety issue and created an enjoyable and effective educational process for those directly involved and others in the school. As their entry included the production of a video it can be shared widely and the lyrics will be remembered, providing a lasting educational impact.
Of the entries received for the Development Through Education Awards, the entry from Adman Civil Projects Ltd was selected to be Highly Commended by the judges for the holistic approach they took to education and development.
Feel free to promote this success widely, we hope it will help to encourage others to submit entries for our Innovation and Development Through Education Awards in 2023.
