Leading Irish infrastructure specialist Actavo has been recognised for its commitment to health and safety with a suite of presitgious awards.
The firm claimed four accolades at the annual Health and Safety Awards organised by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in the UK.
Actavo Industrial Solutions UK was awarded the RoSPA Order of Distinction Award following 19 consecutive years of achieving Gold Awards.
Actavo Network & In-Home achieved three awards including: the RoSPA President's Award, which recognises the company's achievement of winning the Gold Award for 12 consecutive years; the RoSPA Fleet Safety Gold Medal, in recognition of seven consecutive years of Gold Awards; and the RoSPA Fleet Safety Technology Trophy, which recognises Actavo's road safety strategy and excellence in managing occupational road risk. This is an industry specific award, which Actavo has now been awarded for the second year running.
Brian Kelly, Group CEO of Actavo, said: "Actavo is honoured to have once again received this recognition from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. RoSPA Awards are widely recognised as being among the foremost international accolades in the health and safety sector. Safety is our number one company value, and these awards are an acknowledgement of that culture and of our long-term track record of excellence in this area."
Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice. Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK's longest-running H&S industry awards. The annual awards are categorised by different levels of achievement: Merit, Bronze, Silver and Gold, as well as long-term awards that recognise companies for achieving Gold Awards for multiple consecutive years.
Julia Small, RoSPA's Achievements Director, added: "Accidents at work and work-related ill health don't just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they significantly impact an individual's quality of life. That's why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded.
"We are thrilled that Actavo has won these RoSPA Awards and would like to congratulate them on showing an unwavering commitment to keeping their employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury."
