Risk-reduction through design award 2025
The search is on for our next award winners! Nominations for the ‘Risk-reduction through design’ awards are open.
These awards aim to inspire employers to think about how changes to work can reduce the risks of harm to their workers.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include injuries and conditions that can affect the back, joints and limbs. The awards are for companies that have made simple changes to their workplace, task or activities that have resulted in significantly reduced musculoskeletal risk to their employees.
This might include a reduction in lifting, pushing or pulling activities. It could mean removing the need for manual handling altogether, or a significant decrease in the need for awkward postures or the force needed to use equipment.
Award categories
There are 2 categories for the awards:
- Best overall MSD risk reduction through design award
- Small to medium enterprise (SME) award
