Soft service provider Churchill has received a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold Medal, which is awarded to organisations that have received the Gold Award for five consecutive years; this year marks Churchill’s 7th consecutive Gold Award.
Key criteria that the judges evaluate includes:
- Day-to-day H&S systems and policies
- Senior leadership involvement
- Workforce involvement and consultation
- Accident investigation and remediation
- Enforcement records
The company won the internationally recognised award for its exemplary health and safety standards during the 2022 calendar year. It is considered testament to Churchill’s consistently high health and safety standards over the last seven years that have been achieved across a variety of disciplines and sectors.
The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK. Now into its 67th year, the awards have almost 2,000 entries every year, covering nearly 50 countries and a reach of over 7m employees. The programme recognises organisations’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work, looking at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Head of QSHE Amanda Lenehan said: “RoSPA sets a high bar to win a Gold Award, so we’re delighted to have won for a seventh consecutive year. We take pride in providing a safe and secure workplace for our employees and customers. This award is testament to those objectives and we look forward to aiming for an eight Gold Medal next year.”
Three RoSPA Awards ceremonies will take place next month, in Dubai, London and Glasgow.
