Dear Colleagues,

2015 TUC Health and Safety Rep Award
The TUC wants to demonstrate and acknowledge the range of work currently undertaken by lay union representatives on behalf of their members and the community. They will be making an award to the trade unionist who represents the best aspects
of being a health and safety representative. This is not intended to be a competitive award and the TUC is keen to develop this award over the coming years. The award will be made at the
2015 Congress, which takes place in Brighton from 13-16 September.

The award is for lay members who have shown outstanding effectiveness in their role as a health and safety representative. Nominations will be judged against their contribution as a health and safety representative in their workplace and not any other roles.

In line with the practice for other TUC awards there will be one overall winner of the award, however, unions may submit as many nominations for this award as they wish, but each nomination must be signed by the union's general secretary.

Nominations should be submitted to the Health, Safety & Environment Department by Friday 23 May 2015 in order that the forms can be checked, completed and signed by the General Secretary for submission to the TUC by the closing date of Friday 5 June 2015.

Please complete the form in typescript or black ink so that we can photocopy it. Forms submitted without a completed equality monitoring page will not be accepted, but that page is for monitoring purposes only and will be detached from the form before judging takes place.

The judging panel will rely on the information given on the form so please make sure that enough detail is given for the judges to assess the entry. Supporting materials can also be attached.

Please obtain the consent of the person being nominated before submitting this form - they must sign the waiver on the equality monitoring page, which they should fill in themselves. The TUC's decision about any aspect of this award is final.

The CWU Health, Safety & Environment Committee has always supported the award and as a union we are proud to have won the award on a number of occasions previously.

Yours sincerely

Tony Rupa
Acting National Health, Safety & Environment Officer
