The 2011 CARE Award

Winner announced

During CRC CARE’s recent international environmental contamination conference, CleanUp 2011, the efforts of Australian scientists and chemists to improve safety and efficiency in the field were recognised with a new industry award: the CARE Award.

The 2011 CARE Award winner was announced at the 4th International Contaminated Site Remediation Conference Gala Dinner on Wednesday, September 14.

A wide range of nominations for various innovative technologies were accepted for the first-time award, which was presented to the winner among international peers and science experts at the CRC CARE CleanUp Conference 2011 Gala Dinner.

Mr Geoff Anderson graciously accepted the award on behalf of the ALS Environmental team who designed the innovative award entry – a 100mL TPH/PAH project which miniaturises sample bottles.

CRC CARE Managing Director Professor Ravi Naidu and Deputy Secretary of the Department of Innovation, Ms. Patricia Kelly, presented the award during the Gala Dinner. In his acceptance speech, Mr Anderson credited the win to his team’s drive to change the industry to benefit safety, quality, the environment and efficiency through the sample bottle project.

Mr Anderson said that the criteria for the CARE award also aligned with ALS’ core values (including honesty, integrity and safety), and their selection as winner is a testament to the focus of ALS staff as a team. He attributes the win to ALS’ belief that they could make a difference, and their success in planning, implementing, changing and delivering benefit to clients and the industry.
