Siemens Power Generation Services Gas & Power, based in Newcastle, has been handed a prestigious award in recognition of its practices and achievements in helping its staff, customers, clients and contractors get home safely at the end of the working day.
Siemens Power Generation Services Gas & Power has achieved a President's (10 consecutive Golds) in the internationally renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards, the longest-running industry awards scheme in the UK for health and safety performance during the period of January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2018
The award was presented during a ceremony at ExCeL, London on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.
The RoSPA Awards scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises achievement in health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Darren Davidson, Managing Director, Power Generation Services, Siemens Gas and Power, said: “We are delighted to have won the President’s award for 10 consecutive gold awards. We have a duty of care to our employees and anyone who visits our site to make sure they remain safe during their working day or visit. Our Zero Harm policy aims to create a culture which does not compromise on safety, creating environments where injuries are not acceptable and where everything possible is done to prevent them.”
The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards, orders of distinction and the Patron’s Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA awards have become the key fixture in the health and safety calendar with new sponsors and new awards this year including the Leisure Safety Awards, the Safe@Work Safe@Home Award and the Inspiration Awards. Highly respected, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, RoSPA award winners benefit from the wide-ranging rewards of improved sector reputation.”
