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