IOSH Scotland Certificate of Merit Awards 2025

Since 1992, the Certificate of Merit Awards has recognised individuals who, while not OSH professionals, have made outstanding contributions to health and safety in their workplaces. These dedicated individuals play a vital role in supporting OSH delivery, ensuring a safer working environment for all.

This prestigious awards dinner has grown into a highly anticipated event. We are honoured to welcome the President of IOSH, who will present the awards and share insights from their tenure—an inspiring highlight of the evening. The Event is supported by The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) and CEO Kevin Bampton will provide a keynote speech.
