We also spend a great deal of time and effort promoting the same high standards of safe working practices to our members across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to have been recognised once again by RoSPA, but with our new SuperHub due to come online next year we will not be resting on our laurels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards acknowledge businesses and organisations which have shown commitment to accident and ill-health prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s event \u2013 the 60th \u2013 was held at the Hilton Glasgow Hotel and once again entrants were judged on overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julia Small, RoSPA\u2019s head of awards and events, said: \u201cTo win seven Gold Medals at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA Awards is a great achievement. It recognises Palletforce\u2019s commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other organisations to aspire to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Team GB has been racking up golds in Rio, Palletforce, the UK\u2019s leading freight distribution company, has been awarded its seventh consecutive RoSPA Gold Medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":102495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,29,57,28,26],"tags":[33],"postlocation":[],"posttype":[],"postservice":[],"class_list":["post-102494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards","category-general","category-generallatest-news","category-latest-news","category-news","tag-awards"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
