The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has announced it has given its gold award, for the fourth year in succession, to facilities management specialists Atlas Workplace Services. With four RoSPA gold medals in the cabinet, the business would sit alongside Sweden and Kenya in the Olympics medal table.
The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK and is now into its 68th year, with almost 2,000 entries annually. RoSPA aims to put a spotlight on unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and performance excellence. The awards committee looks at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Atlas Workplace Services, formerly known as Salisbury Group, delivers facilities management and engineering maintenance services across Britain. The company has developed a meaningful and practical safety culture that is central to its operating processes. The business says this is regularly cited during client feedback sessions as a marker of its people-focused approach.
Andrew Lunt, Managing Director of Atlas Workplace Services, commented:
“I am proud of all our team members for contributing to this achievement. It is difficult to maintain such high standards for four consecutive years, but this tells its own story of an operating culture where our employees’ and customers’ safety is paramount. Well done to everyone within Atlas Workplace Services.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said:
“We congratulate Atlas Workplace Services for winning another prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury. Acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital.”
