WORKPLACE SAFETY & HEALTH PERFORMANCE AWARDS
The Safety and Health Award Recognition for Projects (SHARP) is part of the Workplace
Safety & Health Performance Awards (WSHPA). This is an annual award presented by
the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, in collaboration with the Ministry of
Manpower (MOM), to give recognition to companies or organisations that have performed
well in safety and health through the implementation of sound safety and health
management systems.
On a project level, the SHARP Award recognises projects or worksites that have good
safety and health performance and workplace safety and health management systems.
This includes large-scale projects that mobilise significant manpower and have shown their
ability to manage WSH on a project-level. Examples of winners of this award would be
shipyards’ projects, construction worksites and large workplaces within an organisation.
Application for WSHPA covers the whole organisation, i.e. all the projects, worksites, etc
whilst application for SHARP covers a single project, worksite, etc, managed by the
organisation.
An organisation can apply for WSHPA covering all its projects or worksites and also for
SHARP for a particular project. The project, worksite or workplace submitted for this award
must not be a combination of various projects, worksites or workplaces of an organisation.
