Future of Safety

Future of Safety: why Safety Champion is powering the Champions of Safety Awards

Recognition is a powerful force in shaping behaviour. When a Rising Star takes the spotlight and is cheered by their peers, the whole team feels the lift. When a Pioneer’s innovative methods are celebrated, their approach spreads across worksites. And when an Icon receives honour, the benchmark for excellence rises for everyone. This ripple effect is precisely why Safety Champion Software proudly backs the Champions of Safety Awards.

There’s more than just alignment; there’s a shared purpose. As a Certified B Corp, Safety Champion operates under independent scrutiny, ensuring that not only our outcomes matter, but the way we get there makes a positive impact. These awards embody values we champion every day: transparency, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of safer, healthier workplaces.

Shaping the Future of Safety The next era of safety is practical, human, and smart. It thrives on usability, clear controls, and a genuine focus on psychosocial risks, not as an afterthought, but as core business. Safety technology is no longer just about compliance; it’s about freeing up time so teams can have real conversations, coach, and problem-solve together. Today, safety is a team sport, and recognition programs like the Champions of Safety Awards are essential for attracting new talent, keeping momentum strong, and spreading best practices across organisations of every size. We are thrilled to announce that Craig Salter, founder of Safety Champion, will sit on the judging panel at the Sydney awards. With a career spanning consulting and software, Craig has honed in on solutions that actually stick – solutions that transform busy, real-world operations.
