Lovell Midlands, based in Birmingham, has won a Gold Medal award
in the prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards
2011. The Gold Medal, which is presented only to companies winning
five or more consecutive Gold awards, was presented at a ceremony
at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel on 18 May 2011.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) awards
scheme looks not only at accident records, but also entrants'
overarching health and safety management systems, including
important practices such as strong leadership and workforce
involvement.
David Rawlins, RoSPA's awards manager, said: "RoSPA firmly
believes that organisations that have demonstrated their commitment
to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention
deserve recognition. Lovell Midlands 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."
David Gough, Lovell Regional Director, commented:
"This award is testament to a great deal of hard work by Lovell
employees across the Midlands region. Safety is always our priority
for staff, customers and the general public alike. This recognition
by RoSPA just demonstrates how safety is a thread that runs through
all our procedures and practices."
The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2011 are
sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational
Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional
examining body.
