Success in the RoSPA Awards 2013 for Warwickshire College…
Warwickshire College 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 award (14 consecutive golds) in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2013 will be presented to the college in a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Thursday 16 May 2013.
Barbara Port, Health and Safety Officer at Warwickshire College, said: “We are delighted to receive the President’s award and be recognised for our continued commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace.”
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. Warwickshire College 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.”
The majority of awards that RoSPA presents 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 competitive awards also recognise excellence in specialist areas, such as the management of occupational road risk (MORR).
