The UK’s premier palletised freight network Palletforce is continuing to lead health and safety in the sector after becoming the only UK pallet network to receive a prestigious Order of Distinction from RoSPA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) for the second time, after earning its 16th consecutive Gold Award.
The Order of Distinction recognises Palletforce’s remarkable consistency in displaying the very highest levels of health and safety in the workplace for 16 consecutive years.
Palletforce prioritises safety on a daily basis with a relentless focus on the safety and wellbeing of its employees and visiting drivers from member hauliers to ensure everyone gets home safely every day.
Die RoSPA Health and Safety Awards sind das größte Auszeichnungsprogramm für Gesundheit und Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz im Vereinigten Königreich und würdigen das Engagement von Organisationen zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung der Verhütung von Unfällen und Erkrankungen am Arbeitsplatz.
Palletforce arbeitet eng mit seinen 120 Mitgliedstransportunternehmen zusammen, um durch die Umsetzung modernster Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsverfahren sowie Investitionen in Sozialeinrichtungen für Mitarbeiter und Besucher ein Höchstmaß an Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.
Palletforce Health and Safety Manager Beverley Knight said: “It is an amazing honour to receive a second Order of Distinction from such a prestigious organisation as RoSPA, and for Palletforce to lead the promotion of safe working practices across the sector.
“The exceptional levels of safety and long-term consistency required to achieve this are a testament to how hard everyone at Palletforce works to maintain standards coupled with our ongoing investment in safe operating processes.
„Wir wissen, dass Arbeitsunfälle und arbeitsbedingte Erkrankungen nicht nur zu erheblichen Störungen der Geschäftsprozesse führen, sondern auch die Auswirkungen auf die Lebensqualität des Einzelnen nicht unterschätzen dürfen. Daher nehmen wir unsere Sicherheitsverfahren niemals auf die leichte Schulter.
Mark Tapper, Palletforce Chief Executive Officer, added: “To be awarded the gold standard from RoSPA for 16 years has required investment, innovation and dedication as well as a laser-like focus on the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and visitors to drive continuous improvement.
„Palletforce ist ein ethisches und sozial verantwortliches Unternehmen. Die Sicherheit unserer Mitarbeiter und Besucher hat für uns oberste Priorität und ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil unserer Unternehmensführungs- und Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie.“
Now in its 69th year, and with almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, covering over seven million employees, the RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme, recognising those organisations and individuals who have set the highest standards in accident prevention.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said: “Palletforce should be proud of the hard work and commitment to keeping people safe that has resulted in a RoSPA Award, which honours those organisations who have achieved the highest standards in health and safety in the workplace. “RoSPA regards Palletforce as a strong example of the importance of making accident prevention central to any successful organisation, not just for the benefit of employees, customers and clients, but also society as a whole.”
