The NSW Boating Industry Association wins Safety leadership category at the 2011 WorkCover NSW SafeWork Awards. It has been awarded for its commitment to working with its members across Australia to improve safety and reduce injuries.
The Association is well-known for its ongoing dissemination of guidance material, delivery of training programs and workplace engagement strategies.
The Boating Industry Association was one of six winners among 47 finalists, selected from 123 entries, announced at a ceremony at Darling Harbour, Sydney.
Representing an industry that has a broad spectrum of workplace activities can be challenging for a representative body to lead. Working at heights or in confined spaces, using volatile chemicals and complex plant and equipment are just some of the issues faced by the boating industry.
