About the Sword of Honour
The Sword of Honour is the most prestigious international health and safety accolade that a company can receive, and it is designed to encourage and reward organisations that work to best practice. Inaugurated in 1979, every year only 40 swords are awarded world-wide, so winners are elite organisations that boast first class health and safety for their employees. In order to ensure that only the highest level organisations receive the award, all applicants must have already undertaken the British Safety Council's five star health and safety audit and obtained the highest level: five stars.
