In the corporate category of the Chemical Industry Safety Award, the evaluation takes into account development projects related to occupational safety, process safety, and preparedness for safety threats. The development of employee well-being is also part of the evaluation. The corporate awards are divided into three categories based on the size of the companies and their locations: small, medium-sized, and large companies.
In the evaluation of applications in the educational institution category of the Chemical Industry Safety Award, particular attention is given to the development of activities or education in terms of safety culture, thinking, and expertise.
