Tarmac is celebrating after landing an internationally recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards which has included successfully adapting its operations to the challenges of COVID-19.
The leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions
business has received a RoSPA Gold Health and Safety Award for working
hard to ensure its employees and contractors get home safely to their
families at the end of every working day.
Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being
world-leaders in health and safety practice.
Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants contend to achieve the highest
possible accolade in what is the UK's longest-running health and safety
industry awards.
Wayne Darwin, HSEQ and governance manager for Tarmac, said: "This award
is recognition and testament to the challenging work of all Tarmac
employees, and contractors, during 2020.
"Last year was particularly challenging with the onset of the COVID-19
pandemic, but we continued to deliver on our commitment to work and
return home safely, while adapting our operations to be COVID-19 secure
to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and
visitors to our sites."
Julia Small, RoSPA's achievements director, said: "The RoSPA Awards
scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives
entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most
sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.
"RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this
award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have
gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the
workplace. Employees, wherever they may be, should be able to go to work
safe in the knowledge that they will return home unharmed and healthy at
the end of every day.
"Our RoSPA Award winners are central to achieving this goal. By
entering, they are driving up standards and setting new safety
benchmarks for organisations across the world. Currently, around 7
million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the
scheme's global influence is even wider - with nearly 2000 organisations
from 46 countries represented this year. I would also particularly want
to thank our main sponsor NEBOSH, the National Examination Board in
Occupational Safety and Health, for their continued support for the 16th
consecutive year."
