The window to nominate people for this year’s inaugural Project Delivery Directorate (PDD) Knowingly Safe Awards 2025 closes on Wednesday 21 May.

PPP head of EHSSQ and assurance, James Lewis, said:
“Every step we take towards our goal of Knowingly Safe is made possible by operatives and teams who are visible, but equally those who quietly lead by example.
“These awards are a way of shining a light on their individual and team contributions – which are the backbone of our safety culture.
“Safety is a team effort across major projects and no contribution should go unseen. I look forward to reading the nominations and meeting the winners at the awards event.”
