For the ISSA Section Machine and System Safety, the safety of machines has always been a concern of high value. Progress has been made in the past, but there are still too many accidents in relation with machines worldwide which not only cause human suffering, but also entail substantial costs for the social insurance systems.
With its “Vision Zero”, the International Social Security Association has launched a global initiative which is based on the assumption that all accidents, harm and work-related illnesses can be prevented. One important focus is the identification of hazards as well as the assessment and control of risks.
Figures show, that still around 20% of all occupational accidents in the European Union are related to a lack of machine safety. For this reason, the Section invites you to join its Safety Award. We want to motivate machine manufacturers to give machine safety and ergonomics a higher priority.
The award carries no prize money. Besides a trophy, the winning companies receive a certificate as well as the digital logo of the safety award which may be used for marketing purposes. The Section supports marketing by publishing the submitted contributions in congresses and media in order to make good solutions more visible worldwide. The safety award is launched every three years.
The submission for the Safety Award 2025 starts on October 1st, 2024.
Deadline for submitting contributions: June 30th, 2025.
