The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre's high quality workplace safety standards have earned it a place as a finalist in the Workcover New South Wales Safework Awards.
The Centre has been shortlisted in the Best Workplace Health and Safety Management System category in the State Government agency awards.
Its submission emphasised the Centre's safety performance, as well as its innovative approach to safety management ensuring a safe environment for employees, clients and guests.
It is the first time the leading venue has entered the annual awards, which recognise excellence in occupational health and safety.
More than 100 companies have entered this year, with the winner to be announced late October.
Chief Executive Ton van Amerongen said the Centre was proud to be nominated as a finalist for the awards.
"We have a sizeable workforce of more than 700 employees and attract more than one million visitors annually, so we put a great deal of effort into ensuring we have extensive standards to support the safety of everyone at the Centre," Mr van Amerongen said.
The Centre last year became the first and only convention venue in Australia to achieve Australia/New Zealand Standard 4801 certification, acknowledging its excellent performance in occupational health and safety (OH&S).
