The Wrekin Housing Trust has won gold at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) health and safety awards 2016 and, as this is their seventh award, they have also received a converted Gold medal which is awarded for five to nine consecutive gold awards.
The award, which recognises The Wrekin Housing Trust’s commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention at work, was presented to employees during a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on 14th July 2016 which also celebrated the awards 60th anniversary.
RoSPA Gold Award winners have to achieve a very high level of performance, demonstrating well developed occupational health and safety management systems and culture, outstanding control of risk and very low levels of error, harm and loss.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards and events, said: “To win an award at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA Awards is a great achievement for our winners. It recognises their commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other organisations to aspire to. We offer them our congratulations.
“This year was doubly special for our winners as their achievements were recognised as the RoSPA Awards celebrated its diamond anniversary, which is a ringing endorsement of the thousands of businesses and organisations that have committed to continuous improvement in accident and ill-health prevention.”
Health and Safety Advisor for the Trust, Libby O’Neill, said: “We’re thrilled to receive our seventh top award from RoSPA. It really does reflect the hard work and commitment made by employees of the Trust in continuing to maintain high standards in health and safety. It also shows our effective management of external contractors working across our varied and growing development and construction programme. ”
