The OCS Utilities team has once again been recognised with the RoSPA Gold Award for Health and Safety for their tower painting contract– marking three consecutive years of top-tier performance in one of the most demanding operational environments.
The Utilities tower painting is a specialist service where safety is non-negotiable. Working at extreme height requires more than technical ability. It calls for daily discipline, rigorous processes, and a dedication to doing things the right way. For the teams involved, safety is built into every action and decision.
Barry Creswick, Director – Utilities, OCS, commented: “RoSPA gold for three consecutive years reflects the effort and commitment across the OCS Utilities tower painting business. The services we deliver are in high-risk environments which require OCS teams to demonstrate continuous commitment to health and safety excellence, and are underpinned by a positive approach to doing things the right way.”
Raising the bar in high-risk environments RoSPA’s recognition highlights the outcomes and team culture behind them. The OCS tower painting team has consistently demonstrated how methodical preparation, ongoing training, and active risk awareness translate into measurable results – for their colleagues, customers, and the wider communities where they operate.
This achievement displays OCS’s wider commitment to resilience and best practices, with safety embedded as a core pillar of service delivery across the organisation. A consistent standard of care Three years of Gold status signals more than compliance. It reflects a standard being upheld by every individual on every site, every day.
As OCS continues to support infrastructure projects across the UK, this latest milestone reinforces the message that excellence in safety is not a target to reach – it is a standard to maintain.
