Now in their 70th year, the awards continue to celebrate excellence across a wide range of industries, with almost 2,000 entries submitted from nearly 60 countries.
This year's awards marked a significant milestone, with RoSPA renaming its highest honour to the Lord Jordan of Bournville Trophy.
Previously known as the Sir George Earle Trophy, the award was renamed to recognise both the 70th anniversary of the RoSPA Awards and the 90th birthday of RoSPA Life President, Lord Jordan of Bournville.
The trophy is presented each year to the standout organisation from the highest-performing sector award winners.
For 2026, The Sovini Group received the honour after demonstrating a strong health and safety culture centred around protecting, supporting and developing its workforce.
The RoSPA Awards recognise organisations of all sizes, from construction and manufacturing to healthcare, education, emergency services and transport.
Among this year's sector winners were:
• Emergency Services - Thames Valley Air Ambulance
• Construction Housebuilding - The Sovini Group
• Healthcare Services - Barchester Healthcare
• Professional & Technical Services - Mott MacDonald
• Wholesale & Retail - AS Watson UK (Superdrug, Savers and The Perfume Shop)
• Engineering Services - Shepley Engineers Ltd
• Public Services - Kuehne + Nagel - HMRC Inland Border Facilities
The awards also recognised organisations across sectors including energy, manufacturing, hospitality, defence, facilities management and waste management.
Alongside organisational awards, RoSPA also recognised individuals and businesses making a lasting contribution to workplace safety.
This year's Inspiring Women in Safety Awards were presented to Sachithra Drawupadhi (International Winner) and Allison Gray (UK Winner), recognising their impact on health, safety and wellbeing.
The Health at Work Award was awarded to Collegiate UK Limited for its occupational health programme, while Bell Global Property Services received the Fleet Safety Trophy.
Meanwhile, dozens of organisations received Patron's Awards, recognising 25 or more consecutive Gold Awards, highlighting long-term commitment to maintaining high standards of health and safety.
The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards remain one of the world's largest and most recognised health and safety award programmes.
With entries spanning almost 60 countries, the awards continue to showcase organisations that are embedding strong safety cultures, improving wellbeing and demonstrating that effective health and safety management delivers benefits for employees, businesses and wider society.
As workplace risks continue to evolve, this year's winners highlight the importance of continuous improvement, leadership and innovation in creating safer places to work.
