Friday night the 7th May saw the 30th time that the NOSCAR’s have been hosted by NOSA. Over 80 companies were recognised for achieving what is the highest level of excellence in managing their occupational health, safety and environmental risk.
It was fantastic to have many first time winners with notable newcomers represented by companies from Namibia and Zimbabwe. We also honoured our longest achieving company who received their 28th NOSCAR. This is a truly unbelievable achievement considering the extremely high level of compliance necessary to achieve a NOSCAR.
The evening was not only about the awards but also the entertainment. The theme for this year’s banquet was “Soccer Mania” and had a truly South African flavour, featuring local artists. If this event was anything to go by, the FIFA World Cup scheduled to begin in the next month or so, is going to be a huge success.
NOSCAR is fast becoming a social event on everyone’s calendar and the night was danced away by the award winners and NOSA staff. The next major banquet for the NOSCAR achievers is scheduled for September at NOSHCON. NOSHCON is the premier conference in occupational risk management and also Africa’s largest conference on Occupational Risk Management. With 29 international and local speakers addressing the delegates, one can be sure to leave NOSHCON enriched with both the latest information as well as relationships to assist them in the management of their systems and careers.
I hope that many of you will be able to join us at Champagne Sports Resort in the mighty Drakensberg for NOSHCON 2010.
Kind regards,
Justin Hobday
Managing Director of NOSA
