The written applications are marked by an independent panel of adjudicators appointed, trained and monitored by British Safety Council. The adjudicators are all senior level health, safety, wellbeing and environmental practitioners. A rigorous standardisation process ensures that each adjudicator applies the marking scheme in exactly the same way so that all applications are marked consistently to the same standard.

We are looking to offer mentoring services to ISA applicants from 2026, to help organisations with their ISA applications. To progress this, we are keen to hear from previous winners (any category) that would be willing to act as a mentor to other clients, sharing how they achieved their success in the awards. An additional unmarked question has been added to the 2025 award application system in this regard.
