Mark Redding, senior EH&S manager, Chubb Fire & Security, said: “To be recognised for this award places great emphasis on the lengths that we as a company go to in ensuring our staff are given a safe environment to work efficiently and effectively.”
Neal Stone, acting chief executive, British Safety Council, said: “Chubb Fire & Security on Shadsworth Road in Blackburn recognises the value that proportionate and sensible management of occupational health and safety risks brings to the organisation, its people and society,” said . “The International Labour Organization estimates that 2.3 million people globally die every year from work-related accidents and diseases, and that an estimated 4 percent of global GDP is lost due to health and safety failure. Awards have an important role to play in shining a light on those employers who are taking sensible and effective steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their workers. The International Safety Awards rightly reflect the importance of aiming for good standards of health and safety at work. Chubb should rightly be proud of its achievement.”
More than 500 organisations won a 2015 International Safety Award with winning organisations spanning all sectors, including the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the West Indies.
