Construction company Chalcroft, which has bases in both
Pershore, West Midlands, and in King's Lynn, Norfolk, has won a
Gold award in the prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety
Awards 2011.
The Gold award was presented at a ceremony that took place at
the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition
Centre, on Wednesday, May 18, 2011.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), a
safety charity, launched its awards programme 55 years ago. The
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. Chalcroft Ltd 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."
Todd Hallam, Chalcroft's Group EHS Manager, said: "This is an
accolade of which Chalcroft is extremely proud and is testament to
the hard work everyone puts in to make our projects as safe as
possible."
The majority of RoSPA's awards are non-competitive, marking
achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations
maintaining high standards can win gold medals, president's awards
and orders of distinction.
Competitive awards are presented in more than 20 sectors, and
specialist awards recognise excellence in specific areas, such as
the management of occupational road risk.
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.
