Securitas UK, based in Milton Keynes, has retained its RoSPA Health and Safety Award in recognition of its practices and achievements in helping its employees and clients get home safely after the working day. Securitas will be presented with their award at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on Thursday, July 5.
The RoSPA Awards scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises achievement in health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Phil Thomas, EH&S Manager at Securitas UK said: “In entering annually for this prestigious award, it gets no easier to attain and in some respects we do have to challenge ourselves all the more to do so. Looking back over the previous year, I am proud of all that Securitas has achieved, but there are always more ways to further improve safety. Gaining this award demonstrates we are firmly committed to the pursuit of a fundamental aim of the organisation to ensure the safety, health and welfare of those working with Securitas.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards are the most highly-respected in the health and safety arena, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, and allow organisations to prove excellence in the workplace, demonstrating a commitment to the wellbeing of not only employees but all those who interact with it.”
Most of the awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards, orders of distinction and the Patron’s Award are presented to those sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.
Headline sponsor of the RoSPA Awards 2018 is NEBOSH – the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health – for the 13th year. Visit www.rospa.com/awards.
