We win gold at prestigious international health and safety awards

We are thrilled to announce that we have won one of the most sought-after awards in the health and safety industry – Gold award with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

A RoSPA award covers all aspects of health and safety and we’ve been awarded gold for demonstrating the effectiveness of our day-to-day health and safety management system.

This prestigious award recognises the hard work and commitment of everyone across our organisation and the steps we’ve taken to prioritise safety.

Our interim head of health and safety Jon Boulton said: “It’s a fantastic achievement and everyone has contributed in one way or another, whether that’s by being involved in training to ensure colleagues and contractors are competent to fulfil their roles, completing risk assessments, reporting performance, supporting with safety committees, dealing with sickness absence, investigating accidents or learning from our mistakes for future planning, it has all made a significant difference!

“Accidents at work and work-related ill health don’t just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, so I’m extremely pleased we’ve been recognised in this way and shown to have a positive health and safety culture.

“Thank you to those who contributed to the award submission and a massive thank you to the health and safety team for making the success happen.

“Well done everyone and thank you for helping us to show just how important health and safety is at Citizen.”
