What questions will you need to answer to win an Achievement Award?
Below is a link to some of the main the RoSPA Achievement Awards entry questions. Each question requires you to reflect on and describe a different aspect of your health and safety management system and demonstrate it.
If you can answer these questions about your organisation’s health and safety approach, and provide plenty of real-world evidence examples to demonstrate your systems in action, then you’re on the journey to winning a RoSPA Award. Throughout the process we run a number of FREE webinars for new and existing award entrants, so if you need assistance, why not ask our judges or previous winners how they tackled or would approach certain questions?

How is your RoSPA Achievement Award judged?
Once you have submitted your Achievement Awards entry, it is judged by our experienced team of independent health and safety professionals, including specialist consultants and experienced senior practitioners.
Where required, RoSPA adjudicators will reference Health and Safety Executive databases (and their international equivalents) and other sources to verify information on prosecutions and enforcement notices. Entrants may also receive a follow-up telephone call or a verification visit at any stage, either before or after the closing date.
What is the Achievement Award judging criteria?
In deciding the Achievement Award level merited to your organisation, we primarily consider the following areas:
- Your account of the day-to-day health and safety management systems and policies you have developed, and the evidence you provided to demonstrate them being effectively used in practice
- This is broken down in to a range of disciplines and themes such as senior leadership involvement, training and competency, workforce involvement and consultation, and accident investigation and remediation
- Accident and ill health, both for your own staff and contractors
- Your enforcement record
- The reference period for all 2025 entry content is the 2024 calendar year.
It is this key information and evidence about the development and delivery of your management systems that make up the bulk of your submission.
