Rendall & Rittner scoops RoSPA Award 2016
Richard Daver, Managing Director of Rendall & Rittner, explains the importance of Health and safety, following the firm’s RoSPA Silver Award.
Rendall & Rittner is delighted with its new award in the 60th year of the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2016. We were awarded Silver at this year’s annual scheme, run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
The RoSPA Awards is celebrating 60 years of presenting highly-regarded and sought after accolades to businesses and organisations which have shown commitment to accident and ill-health prevention.
The scheme is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
It is great to be recognised for such a prestigious award. At Rendall & Rittner, health and safety is a key commitment and is a priority for all our employees. We aim for all our staff to have ownership over both their own health and safety, as well as that of their colleagues. With over 200 internal staff and 800 employees on-site, we ensure that we are responsible as employers, and our health and safety track record is exceptional.
Our dedicated Health and Safety Compliance Manager oversees all our sites, providing support and advice for on-site staff, property managers and clients. It is with our tight systems of operation, independent consultations, regular inspections and high standard performance that ensure we go above and beyond ensuring prevention is better than cure.
The Silver award will be presented to the Rendall & Rittner team during a ceremony at the ExCel in London on 21st June, as the event marks its diamond anniversary.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards and events, told us: “To win an award at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA Awards is a great achievement for our winners. It recognises their commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other organisations to aspire to. We offer them our congratulations.
“This year was doubly special for our winners as their achievements were recognised as the RoSPA Awards celebrated its diamond anniversary, which is a ringing endorsement of the thousands of businesses and organisations that have committed to continuous improvement in accident and ill-health prevention.”
