The presentation will the be held at the Forum Restaurant of the Darlington Centre on Friday 20th November 2009.

The award is named in memory of the late Peter Dunlop who was an OHS and Radiation Protection Officer at the University for several years until his untimely death while travelling on his way to work just over 16 years ago.

Both Mr John Duckworth and Associate Professor Alan Jones were presented with the award last year in recognition of their sustained and ongoing contributions to improving OHS awareness and processes at the University of Sydney.

For example, John Duckworth was responsible for establishing OHS induction programs for trades and contractor staff to ensure their safety when working in the School of Chemistry, particularly in laboratories and other hazardous environments.

Alan Jones was a driving force in enhancing safety standards for both radiation and laboratories. Both John and Alan had been representatives on OHS committees.

For this year’s Award, the University would like to acknowledge and thank WorkCover NSW for their significant sponsorship and contribution to this notable event.
