AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY GROUP

Ai Group's Illawarra Industry Council initiated the Safety Recognition Awards in 2007. Since then, a range of Illawarra/South Coast companies have received awards recognising excellence in safety practices. The awards are presented each year at the Illawarra Industry Dinner and the achievements of the companies are highlighted. The Awards have been sponsored and over the last 4 years The Seta Foundation has been a major sponsor. The Foundation was set after the tragic loss of a workmate & employee, Setaleki Kolomaka, Seta to his friends. The Foundation was established with financial and other support from Veolia Environmental Services, The Australian Workers Union and Shin Investments. In addition to promoting safety through sponsorship of the Awards, the Foundation has been supporting the well-being and education of the Kolomaka family.
