Every year I look through the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in Australia, looking for somebody who has been awarded an honour for services to occupational health and safety. Almost every year, there is nothing but in 2012 one person was awarded a Public Service Medal “for outstanding public service in the area of occupational health and safely.”
This year, Michele Patterson, Executive Director of SafeWork SA was awarded the Public Service Medal. There is an outline of the justification for the award online (at page 389).
Congratulations.
