Hazardex Awards 2026 Sponsors:
The Hazardex Awards programme has long been an industry benchmark for those supplying products, services and systems within hazardous areas. They are the ideal way to help raise awareness and standards across the sector by highlighting and rewarding those providing the most innovative products and services.
The Awards will be presented following an informal, very well attended Gala Dinner in the evening of Day 1 at Hazardex Live 2026 where delegates, speakers, and exhibitors network over a three-course meal and drinks. The Hazardex Live events are widely recognised as the most important global events specific to hazardous area operations across all major industries. Together with the Conference and Exhibition, the Gala Dinner and Awards evening help strengthen and expand the community that looks to the Hazardex website and journal for industry intelligence and information.
We are excited to announced that we have expanded the Hazardex Awards 2026 to include two more categories, brining the total number of awards to six. This year’s categories are:
Category 1 – Contribution to Safety – Sponsored by CEF A product, system or service which has made a significant contribution to safety in hazardous area environments.
Category 2 – Technical Innovation – Sponsored by C&P Engineering Services An innovative product or system for use in hazardous area environments.
Category 3 – Net Zero Innovation – Sponsored by Mutech An innovation for hazardous environments that helps lower emissions and carbon footprints.
Category 4 – Customer Service – Sponsored by DNV A company or corporate division that has provided excellent customer service in the sector over the last two years.
Category 5 – Plant Upgrade & Innovation – sponsorship available! An operator that has successfully implemented projects or equipment to enhance safety, efficiency, and technological innovation in their hazardous areas.
Category 6 – Safety Record of the Year – sponsorship available! Outstanding achievement by an operator in maintaining exemplary safety standards in pursuit of incident-free operations.
You can nominate the same company, product, or service for as many of the categories as they are relevant for, or you can put forward different entrants for whichever categories you choose. As well as celebrating product manufacturers and service providers, our two new categories of Plant Upgrade & Innovation and Safety Record of the Year are the perfect opportunity to also reward end users and operators, helping them gain recognition for their vital safety work.
