2011 RoSPA Award Winners

  RoSPA Award for Highway Traffic Management Limited

Highway Traffic Management Limited, of Birmingham, has won a Gold award in the prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2011.

 

The Gold award will bepresented to Adrian Pulham, SHE Manager at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2011.

 

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), a safety charity, launched its awards programme 55 years ago. The scheme looks not only at accident records, but also entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement.

 

David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “RoSPA firmly believes that organizations that have demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. Highway Traffic Management Limited has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”

 

Adrian Pulham, SHE Manager said, this award is recognition of the continued effort shown by the entire workforce of Highway Traffic Management Ltd from the MD to the operatives working daily on the frontline. Operating in a notoriously high risk industry, safety and health needs to be the top of everyone’s agenda and in the fore front of everyone’s mind as they go about their daily activities, this award is recognition, for the 2^nd year in a row of the progress made by every employee.

 

The majority of RoSPA’s awards are non competitive, marking achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations maintaining high standards can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.

 

Competitive awards are presented in more than 20 sectors, and specialist awards recognize excellence in specific areas, such as the management of occupational road risk.

 

The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2011 are sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.

 

Three days of award ceremonies and three gala evening dinners will be held in Birmingham form May 17 – 19, alongside Safety & Health Expo 2011, Europe’s leading annual health and safety exhibition. An award ceremony and gala dinner will also take place in Glasgow in September.
