IIRSM is excited to announce the finalists of its Risk Excellence Awards 2021.

2020 was a tough year for us all globally, and the challenges continue. Entries from organisations, teams and individuals certainly demonstrated some extraordinary and inspirational stories about keeping people safe, healthy and resilient, whilst having to navigate some tough times and make sometimes tougher decisions.

The finalists are as follows:

The winner of our President’s Commendation will be announced at the awards ceremony.

The Risk Excellence Awards Ceremony will again take place virtually on 20 May 2021.   With over 450 people from around the globe joining us last year, we are hoping for an even greater night in 2021.  It’s free to attend and great fun.

We’re delighted to announce our host will be World and European relay champion Derek Redmond, one of Britain’s most famous athletes. Having broken the British 400m record on two occasions, Derek was one of the country’s best athletes during the 1980s and 1990s. A key member of the relay squad that won gold at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, he competed at the highest level for over a decade.

Andy Hawkes, CEO at Cardinus Risk Management, the awards headline sponsor, states “We are excited to support the IIRSM Risk Excellence Awards in 2021. After a long and difficult year, the industry has shown itself to be resilient and exceptionally innovative in creating solutions that have supported the health and wellbeing of workers across the globe. The awards will be a celebration of the industry’s achievements during a challenging time. We wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to a fantastic evening.”

IIRSM would like to thank its headline sponsor Cardinus Risk Management and its supporting sponsors and partners Avetta, Barnett Waddingham, healthcare rm, HSE Recruitment Network, Sureteam and WSH Asia.
