RoSPA Safety Awards Headed For Glasgow

Preparations are gearing up in Glasgow for the 2012 Safety Awards, run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

Awards will be given out to hundreds of companies that have demonstrated safety standards in the last year, as the programme aims to award those that are committed to preventing accident and ill health.

Judges assessed accident records and safety schemes.

Some awards were already given out in May in Birmingham, but north of the border a ceremony will take place on September 20 at the Hilton Glasgow.

David Rawlins is the awards manager at RoSPA, which has a 95-year history of campaigning for safety behind it.

He said: "The RoSPA Awards programme provides well-deserved recognition for the winners and spurs on other organisations to raise their standards of accident and ill health prevention."

The construction sector will be represented in the 'gold' section by proud delegates from, among others, Kier Construction, Balfour Beatty, Aberdeen City Council and Robertson Facilities Management.

The infrastructure, support services and construction group, based in Inverness and Stirling, was pleased to be recognised for its "health and safety culture".

David MacDonald of Robertson said: "In what has been a year of sustained, rapid growth in both staff numbers and sites, our health and safety culture has developed positively. The RoSPA gold award really is the standard for excellence in health and safety and is recognition of how we have embedded health and safety into our organisation’s culture. Our goal is to become a RoSPA Higher Performer and we’re already well on our way to achieving this."
