Awards
SGUK NATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARDS 2018
For 2018 and beyond, SGUK will integrate two award systems which complement each other perfectly - The Alan Butler and Maurice Adamson Achievement Awards being specifically for SGUK Groups to enter and the SCOS Innovation Awards for any organisation to enter.
The Alan Butler Awards have been running independently for 22 years and the SCOS Awards have been running independently for over 40 years. Integrating them will provide the benefit of their combined strength and extended influence.

The SGUK awards are an opportunity to recognise, celebrate and communicate the success of Safety Groups and individuals.
SGUK has two Award Categories:

- The Maurice Adamson Award to recognise the work of individuals within Safety Groups
The Alan Butler Awards
Sponsored by
Alan Butler
Alan Butler represented the Sheffield Occupational Health and Safety Association on the National Health and Safety Groups Council (now SGUK) from July 1985. He served as a Vice Chairman of the Council from October 1991 to October 1993 and served as Chairman of the Council from October 1993 until his untimely death on 17 August 1995.
One of his ideas was to encourage high standards of work in individual Groups and to recognise this by publicising their achievements across the Groups movement.
For the last 20+ years our awards have been named in his honour.
The Award
The Alan Butler Awards celebrate the achievements of the Safety Groups.

He was the driving force behind the committee of the Teesside Safety Group and supported the North East SHE Partnership on a day to day basis, as well as organising many seminars and SHE events across the region. SGUK introduced the award in remembrance of Maurice Adamson sadly passed away in February 2010. The Teesside Safety Group has since merged with NESHEP
The Award
