Attaining leading performance

We were delighted to receive our fourth consecutive Gold Medal Award in The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents 2012 Awards, after securing an eight consecutive Gold Award. The Gold Medal Award recognises and celebrates the achievement of an extremely high standard of health and safety at work over a period of five to nine consecutive years.

Awards are based on a company’s individual performance assessed against the judging criteria, and companies must provide evidence of a good health and safety management system.

Processes underpinning performance

“Spotlight on Safety” is our implementation of the internationally proven DuPont™ STOP™ programme, a behavioural safety programme which provides the cornerstone of our health and safety culture. Together these processes have been vital to the strong improvements we have delivered in our performance.
