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).
