The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Occupational Health and Safety Awards scheme is the largest and longest-running programme of its kind in the UK. It recognises commitment to accident and ill health prevention.

The scheme looks at entrant’s overarching health and safety management systems, including important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement as well as accident records.

David Rawlins, RoSPA awards manager said: “The RoSPA Awards programme provides well-deserved recognition for the winners in their health and safety practices and we congratulate Grontmij on their success”.

We recognise that health and safety is a key value for our clients and this award helps demonstrate that we are a highly competent consultant, who will work with clients to further support their approach to providing a safe working environment”.

Grontmij will be presented with the Gold Medal award at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Thursday, May 17, 2012.
