Chemical Industry Sector
"At GPIC we pride ourselves in being associated with the RoSPA Awards for over more than two decades, which has enabled us to build a comprehensive Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Culture and Management System. Over the years the Awards have provided us with opportunities to measure our performance and enhance it wherever we can.
It is always a pleasure and honour to participate in the RoSPA Award Ceremony, as well as welcoming and embracing our participation in the RoSPA Gala Dinner, as this symbolizes our collective efforts towards saving lives."

This is the eleventh year in succession that Springfields has received a RoSPA Award. Our attitude and commitment to a safe working environment is demonstrated through the hard work of our employees and our partnership with trade and staff unions.
Safety is the number one priority at Springfields and we will maintain our efforts to ensure that we provide a safe and secure plant for our people, neighbours and the environment"
Food, Drink and Tobacco Manufacturing Industry Sector Award
"Coca-Cola Enterprises, East Kilbride (CCE), are delighted to be recognised as winner of the Food, Drink & Tobacco Manufacturing Industry Sector Award.
Our commitment towards safety is part of the fabric of our operations, and is reflected by the attitude and contributions of our employees; we continually improve our processes and procedures, by sharing best practice between all of our CCE operations across Europe.
As joint winners in 2009 and having attained the President’s award in 2010, to receive recognition through this year’s Sector Award and a Silver Award for Management of Occupational Road Risk is further endorsement of the commitment by our business and our employees to ‘Safety First’ & ‘Zero Tolerance to Unsafe Behaviours’."
Dilmun Trophy
"Winning the Dilmun Trophy is a great success and privilege for Warings. For the effort and commitment of our people and suppliers to be recognised by RoSPA at such a level, has given our confidence and momentum to continue improving our performance a great boost.
The quality of the Gala Dinner was very good, the Warings Team had a great time and look forward to attending again in the future."
Construction Engineering Sector Award Winner
"Receiving a major award in the Construction Engineering Sector for the third year running is an honour that recognises the commitment of our staff in pursuing safety excellence.
Protecting the health and safety of our workforce, members of the public and others affected by our activities is an essential part of the risk management process that Studsvik UK has implemented.
To achieve this initiative, a behavioural safety programme was implemented in 2005; originally led by managers, this has now been devolved throughout with workers introducing safety initiatives to help reinforce our safety principle to send people home safe and sound to their families every day. Our willingness to work together in a partnership approach that includes the involvement of everyone remains our number one priority and has helped to overcome both technical and behavioural obstacles, and is key to our success.
Being selected to receive this prestigious award recognises the work that all staff have delivered to improve both their own and organisational safety performance in our drive for zero harm to people and the environment. Without their individual contributions this would not have been possible."
Transport, Storage and Distribution Sector Winner
"Northern Rail is extremely honoured to be selected as Sector winners for the third year running.
Effective health and safety management is core to our business and a fundamental expectation of our customers, and we believe the RoSPA Awards is an excellent independent benchmark against which to assess our approach.
Winning the award is a real credit to our staff and will be an inspiration to us to continue our journey towards health and safety excellence."
Hotel and Catering Industry Sector
"The ARAMARK front line workforce and management team are very proud to have been awarded the Sector Award in 2011. This is the offshore division’s seventh Sector Award and the award system is a real motivator to keep working on our health and safety performance. The recognition is truly a reflection of the continuous improvement that is made at each work site, year on year.
The gala dinner is always a special night and has been enjoyed by many!"
Waste Management & Recycling Industry Sector
"Bath & North East Somerset Council - Waste Collections, were delighted to win the coveted RoSPA award for our sector, which was our first attempt. The award is the culmination of a great deal of commitment and hard work from managers at all levels of the organisation, Trade Unions and the collection staff. On a wider perspective we are pleased to be leading the way in change for the industry in trying to reduce the level of serious accidents and participating in various regional schemes with both the HSE and private/public service operators by sharing best practice.
The awards ceremony was an immensely enjoyable occasion during which the B&NES team met many friends and peers."
Education and Training Services Sector
"As trainers of young process and engineering maintenance apprentices, we at TTE place an inordinately high priority on health and safety which is why we are especially proud to have won the RoSPA Sector Award for Training and Education Services in 2011. This latest award, our seventh in ten years, recognises our corporate commitment to continually improve health and safety standards and performance year-in, year-out whilst simultaneously giving all our staff a thoroughly deserved pat on the back."
Research and Development Sector Award
"Winning our seventh Sector Award in the last eight years gives NNL a real source of pride and achievement. It recognises the contribution of everyone in our organisation in really engaging with health and safety and making efforts to continually improve. Above all, it exhorts us to remain ever vigilant and pursue further improvements in our performance and culture."
National Defence Sector and Workforce Involvement in Safety & Health Trophy Winner
"Naval Base Commander Devonport was delighted to win the Awards for the Defence Sector and Workforce Involvement. Effective health and safety management is core to our business and we believe the RoSPA Awards is an excellent independent benchmark against which to assess our progress.
Winning these esteemed awards recognises the work that all staff have achieved in seeking to improve safety 24/7, both within the context of their personal and work environments. Without their individual contributions this would not have been possible.
