Buro Happold, the multi-disciplinary international practice of consulting engineers, has been awarded the prestigious Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold Medal for Occupational Health & Safety in the UK in recognition of five consecutive years of Gold Awards.
The Gold Medal Award will be presented at a special ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, National Exhibiton Centre, on Thursday, May 24.
Steve Lobley, Health and Safety Officer for Buro Happold, commented: "We are proud to receive this award. Health and safety is of paramount importance in our industry and this award reflects the priority given to it at Buro Happold."
David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager, said “Buro Happold has demonstrated how seriously it takes health and safety management and is a fine example to many other companies. We would like to see more organisations following Buro Happold’s lead.”
The RoSPA awards are not just about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; they help to ensure that organisations have good health and safety management systems in place. Entering the awards scheme reinforces the message that good health and safety is good business and clearly demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to the achievement of high levels of performance in this crucial area.
The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2007 are sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.
The President of RoSPA, Baroness Anne Gibson of Market Rasen, Deputy President, Lord Jordan of Bournville and Vice-President, Lord Brougham & Vaux will host gala dinners on May 22-24 for representatives of award-winning organisations at the Hilton Birmingham Hotel, with entertainment by top comedian Jimmy Carr.
