Peveril Homes celebrates success in the RoSPA Awards 2012

April 11, 2012 - PRLog -- House-builder Peveril Homes, of Belper, has had its approach to the prevention of accidents and ill health recognised in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2012, for the seventh consecutive year.

The Gold Medal award will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Wednesday, May 16, 2012.

Dating back to 1956, the 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, and is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas. The scheme does not just look at accident records, but also entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement.

David Rawlins, awards manager at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), a safety charity with a 95-year history, said: “The RoSPA Awards programme provides well-deserved recognition for the winners and spurs on other organisations to raise their standards of accident and ill health prevention. We congratulate Peveril Homes on its success and encourage it, and all our other winners, to remain committed to safety and health, an approach that is well recognised to be good for workers and the bottom line.”

Colin Wright, construction and technical director at Peveril Homes, said: “As a company, we’re delighted that we’ve been awarded this gold medal. Health and safety is of paramount importance to us, and we strive to ensure our standards are the highest they can be.

“We have stringent procedures in place to minimise the risk of accidents and injury and these are reviewed regularly. This is a great achievement for the whole team, and shows that we care about our staff’s welfare.”

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 recognise excellence in specific areas, such as the management of occupational road risk.
