Julia Small, RoSPA's head of qualifications, awards and events, said: "The RoSPA Awards have become the key fixture in the health and safety calendar with new sponsors and new awards this year including the Leisure Safety Awards, the Safe@Work Safe@Home Award and the Inspiration Awards. Highly-respected, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, RoSPA award winners benefit from the wide-ranging rewards of improved sector reputation."

Gold medals, president's awards, orders of distinction and the Patron's Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.

Clark Contracts will be presented with the President's Award during the annual presentation ceremony at Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central on Thursday 12th September 2019.
