Since the awards introduction, there has been a gradual
increase in companies being recognized, as shown in
table 13.
Companies that participate in the campaign give
positive feedback on the initiative. Based on a survey
of 134 companies that received awards in 2008, many
agreed that the award had helped them enhance OSHE
management in their organization, improve their
business image and left them motivated to do more to
improve their OSH performance (table 11).
The safety officer training and the zero-accident
campaign are two initiatives that have contributed to an
improvement in Thailand’s OSH accident rate, as figure
8 indicates.
Moving forward
Thailand intends to further fine-tune the zero-accident
campaign to assist and motivate small and medium
enterprises towards better OSH performance.
