Kee Safety Logistics Ltd and British Standard Gratings, both part of the Kee Safety Group, are among the winners in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2014.

Both companies are recipients of the Silver award in the prestigious annual scheme run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) which will be presented during a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on May 15, 2014.

As the UK’s family safety charity, RoSPA’s mission to save lives and reduce injuries covers all ages and stages of life. In support of this mission, the RoSPA Awards, which date back 58 years, recognise commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention at work. Through the scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “The RoSPA Awards encourage the raising of occupational health and safety standards across the board. Organisations that gain recognition for their health and safety management systems such as Kee Safety Logistics and British Standard Gratings, contribute to a collective raising of the bar for other organisations to aspire to, and we offer them our congratulations.”

Chris Milburn, Managing Director of the Kee Safety Group, said: “ We are delighted to receive these RoSPA awards which recognise our committment to health and safety at work. Both businesses have safety at the top of their agenda and focus on ensuring the high standards we set for our group are met. There are continual process improvemnts taking place in all our businesses and our staff are committed to maintaining the standards of health and safety at the highest possible level.”

The majority of RoSPA’s awards are non-competitive, grading achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations that maintain high standards in consecutive years can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.

Competitive awards are presented in more than 20 industry sectors, and they also recognise excellence in specialist areas, such as the management of occupational road risk (MORR).

The sponsors of the RoSPA Awards 2014 are: headline sponsor – NEBOSH; The RoSPA International Sector Award – airsweb; The MORR Trophy – Allianz; The International Dilmun Environmental Award – GPIC; The Best New Entry Trophy – Safety and Health Expo; The Workforce Involvement in Safety and Health Trophy – Springfields Fuels; and, The MORR Technology Trophy – Tesco Dotcom.    

This year, RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards ceremonies are being held in three locations for the first time: Birmingham on May 14 and May 15, alongside a new event – the RoSPA Health and Safety Learning Hub; London on June 17, alongside Safety and Health Expo 2014; and Glasgow on September 17, the day after the RoSPA Scotland Occupational Health and Safety Congress.
