Six consecutive RoSPA golds for Chalcroft
Chalcroft, a leading specialist construction contractor, has once again been awarded the RoSPA Gold Medal for Health & Safety amidst the scheme’s 60th year celebrations, having achieved Gold Awards for six consecutive years. This internationally-recognised accolade rewards organisations in all sectors that have demonstrated a clear commitment to the prevention of accidents and ill health.
The scheme is open to businesses and organisations of all sizes and types and, in awarding the prizes, judges consider each entrant’s overarching occupational health & safety management systems – taking into account everything from workforce engagement and safe practices at ground level, through to leadership principles.
Commenting on this milestone achievement, QEHS Director Todd Hallam explained: “Our robust health & safety policies and procedures are continually reviewed and refined to ensure we exceed the standards set by relevant legislation, and this culture of safety is embedded in all levels of the company. To receive independent verification of our achievements from RoSPA is extremely gratifying and everyone involved should be very proud.”
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.”
