Share and Inspire. Be a #SafetyFIRST champion in Asia Pacific.

 

Every day, people at work face real risks — from hazardous materials to complex working environments. Staying safe requires not only the right protection, but also the right decisions at the right time.

At DuPont, safety is at the core of everything we do. The SafetyFIRST Awards campaign celebrates real safety stories where the right protection and actions made a difference.

 

 

What is "DuPont SafetyFIRST Awards"

The DuPont SafetyFIRST Awards program builds on the #SafetyFIRST initiative, which has engaged safety professionals across Asia Pacific for several years. It recognizes individuals committed to making workplaces safer every day.

This award honors real people in real working environments — individuals who demonstrate strong safety awareness, responsibility, and the proper selection and use of protective garments.

Not staged. Not perfect. Just real stories of safety in action. 

If you have a story to share — or have witnessed safety in action — we invite you to join the SafetyFIRST movement and inspire others to work safer every day.
