Success in the RoSPA Awards 2013 for Urenco UK
08 May 2013
Urenco UK has had its approach to occupational safety and health recognised in an awards scheme run by the safety charity, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
The President’s (12 consecutive Golds) award in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2013 will be presented in a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Tuesday May 14, 2013.
Dating back 57 years, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the largest and longest-running programme of its kind in the UK. It recognises commitment to accident and ill health prevention and is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas. The scheme not only looks at accident records, but also entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said:
“RoSPA firmly believes that organisations that demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. Urenco UK Limited has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”
Simon Bowen, Managing Director, Urenco UK commented:
“We are delighted with the news that we have gained our twelfth consecutive RoSPA Gold award for safety performance.
“The RoSPA Occupational Health & Safety Awards are not just about reducing the numbers of accidents and cases of ill health at work: they are also about ensuring that organisations such as ours have good health and safety management systems in place. They help to reinforce the message that good health and safety is good business and clearly demonstrate an organisation’s commitment to the achievement of high levels of performance in this crucial area.”
