ISS’s Healthcare business has received a distinction in the International Safety Awards from the British Safety Council for protecting its employees from the risk of injury and ill health at work.
This award was given in recognition of ISS’s commitment to keeping its 9,500+ healthcare workers and many workplaces healthy and safe during 2021. This is a huge achievement for the business that services more than 40 client organisations, particularly after the extraordinary demand placed on healthcare and support required by the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The International Safety Awards recognise and celebrate organisations from around the world which have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health during the previous calendar year. The awards also acknowledge organisations that have shown commitment to wellbeing and mental health at work.
Donna Brown, Managing Director – Healthcare, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by the British Safety Council for excellence in keeping our workers and workplaces healthy, safe and well. The safety of our placemakers, and people who use the buildings that we service, is incredibly important to us. So, achieving this accolade is a proud moment. Safety will continue to be the top priority across our whole business, and we are committed to continuous improvement in this area.”
Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of British Safety Council, congratulated ISS Facility Services – Healthcare on their success in winning an International Safety Award 2022 with a Distinction: “The British Safety Council applauds ISS Facility Services – Healthcare on their achievement. The award is in recognition of their commitment and hard work to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health. The vision of British Safety Council is that no-one should be injured or made ill through their work – anywhere in the world. Achieving this requires more than complying with legislation; it means people committed not only to health and safety but also more and more to workplace wellbeing and impelling others to follow suit.”
