The 71 Sword of Honour and nine Globe of Honour winners also demonstrated to an independent adjudication panel their proven track record of excellence in managing risks to workers’ health and safety and/or to the environment from the organisations’ activities, with four of these companies winning the double – both Sword and Globe of Honour.
This is also the second year that the Shield of Honour has been awarded to organisations which can demonstrate excellence in wellbeing management.
This year’s winning organisations come from a broad range of industry sectors in the UK, India, the Middle East and Asia, including construction, energy generation, manufacturing, hospitality, education, facilities management, housing, wholesale and retail and transport.
Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of British Safety Council, said: “Many congratulations to all winning organisations on their achievements this year, I applaud them for keeping their workplace safe and healthy and contributing to safeguarding the environment. All of these award-winning organisations share a commitment and willingness to achieve the uppermost standards, and we thank them for contributing to achieving our vision that no-one should be injured or made ill through their work.”
Peter McGettrick, Chair of British Safety Council, said: “On behalf of the board of trustees and staff of British Safety Council I would like to congratulate all the award winners on achieving the highest standards of health, safety, wellbeing and environmental management.
