At the heart of this vital work lies operations engineering, the cornerstone of which without safety falters and vulnerabilities arise. In recognition of these unsung heroes, the Society of Operations Engineers is proud to announce the return of the safety awards – the 2024 edition is titled Safety & Resilience in Engineering Awards.
This year, the awards shine a spotlight on two crucial themes: safety and resilience. As we navigate an ever-changing landscape fraught with unpredictable challenges, it is imperative that we fortify our businesses and communities against these elements while fostering resilience to pave the way for a safer future. The 2024 awards seek to honour and celebrate the individuals, teams, visionaries, and organisations who have spearheaded groundbreaking technologies and innovative solutions to propel our industries forward.
Awards are free to enter and are open to members and non-members. SOE aims to celebrate the advancements of the wider engineering community and is opening up this year’s awards to everyone. The 2024 edition also introduced a number of new categories to shine the spotlight on the themes of resilience and safety with additions such as ‘Helix’ awards and safety categories such as safety specialist and safety innovation awards. Awards are split between individuals and company categories – with ample opportunities for teams, leaders, organisations and projects to show off the work they’ve been doing over the past year to drive engineering forward.
