EuroSafety recognised the safety achievements and innovations of 2026

At EuroSafety in Tampere on 10 September, recognition was given to initiatives, products and services that contribute to safer working life. This year’s selected solutions highlighted proactive risk prevention, the use of new technology and the integration of safe practices into everyday operations and workplace culture.



The Occupational Safety Achievement of the Year Award went to Sarlin Oy, which has reached 1,958 days without a lost-time workplace accident. The recognition highlighted the company’s success in embedding safe practices into daily work, its proactive approach to risk management and strong management commitment to continuous improvement.

Sarlin Oy’s Blackline Safety G8 wearable gas detectors were named Safety Innovation Product of the Year 2026. The next-generation solution combines gas detection, lone worker protection, communication and real-time situational information. The data generated by the device can also be used to support the further development of workplace safety practices.

In the service category, the award went to Qreform Oy’s Service Provider Safety Portal. The solution brings together safety observations, risk management and information related to service providers in one system. The aim is to make safety management more measurable and proactive across organisational boundaries, particularly at shared workplaces.

MaskControl was the public’s favourite in the product category, while Qreform Oy received the most votes in the service category. MaskControl also received an honourable mention for its practical and systematic operating model, in which measures such as cleaning protective equipment and verifying safety form a clear, structured process.
