The British Safety Council (BSC) will award 61 of its Sword of Honour and eight Globe of Honour awards to businesses around the world who showed exemplary management of health, safety and environmental risks.
The winning organisations come from a wide range of industry sectors in the UK, mainland Europe, India and the Middle East—representing a wide cross-section of industries including construction, education and training, energy generation and distribution, food and drink, leisure, logistics, manufacturing, major hazards, motor vehicle manufacture, retail and transport. Winning organisations included Aston Martin Lagonda, Britvic Soft Drinks, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Qatargas, Tata Chemicals of India and United Biscuits.
Mike Robinson, Chief Executive, BSC commented, “On behalf of the trustees and staff of the British Safety Council I would like to congratulate those winning organisations and their staff for their huge commitment in seeking to be the best, recognising their effort expended in keeping their workplaces safe and healthy and minimising risks to the environment from their organisations’ day-to-day activities.”
It comes as the BSC have announced the launch of the 2016 International Awards—now entering its 58th year—which will be held in May in London. The awards—which last year recognised the work of 515 organisations—have previously played an important role in helping to promote the social, economic and business benefits of employers taking sensible and effective steps to ensure the health, safety and well being of their employees and others.
