Good news — we've extended the Fleet Safety Awards 2026 entry deadline to 12 October 2026, giving you more time to compile an entry that truly reflects your organisation's safety performance.
If you haven't started yet, now is the time. Or, if you've already begun, use the extra weeks to complete and strengthen your submission with detailed examples, measurable results, and evidence of sustained commitment to road safety excellence.
The Awards celebrate excellence in fleet safety, with over R250 000 in major cash prizes, plus several other unique prizes for category winners.
Winners walk away with more than a trophy, it's independent, judge-verified recognition that your organisation gets safety right. That credibility is earned on stage, in front of the industry, at the gala evening on 26 November 2026.
