Fortem is celebrating after landing an internationally-recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards.
Fortem have been awarded a Gold Medal (7 consecutive Golds) in the internationally-renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards.
Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice. Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK’s longest-running health & safety industry awards.
Mel Simon, Regional Health, Safety and Environment Manager, said: “I am extremely proud of this fantastic achievement for both our team and the business. This is our 7th consecutive Gold Medal award, which recognises and applauds our commitment to working safely, protecting our staff, trades, supply chain partners and the communities in which we work. A huge well done to all and this will help us continue to be industry leaders in protecting the health, safety and the wellbeing of our people.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Head of Qualifications, Awards and Events, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations around the world, making it one of the most sought-after global accolades in health and safety.
“RoSPA wants every employee, wherever they are, to work safe in the knowledge that they will be going home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. The RoSPA Award winners are vital to help achieve this goal, as by entering they are driving up standards and setting new benchmarks for organisations everywhere. Currently, around 7 million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s influence is even wider.”
Fortem’s Health & Safety team will be presented with the Award at the RoSPA Awards Presentation and Gala Dinner ceremony on Tuesday, September 8 2020, at ExCeL London.
