Securitas UK wins gold award for Health and Safety from RoSPA

The gold award signifies sustained excellence in Health and Safety. Securitas UK has also maintained an Order of Distinction as a result of more than 15 consecutive gold awards, while Securitas Technology received its first gold award in the UK.

The partnership with the awards organiser highlights a dedication to improvement around Health and Safety awareness and an exceptional commitment to the well-being of employees, clients and customers.

The gold achievements are the result of a series of programmes internally that deliver Health and Safety training to core groups across the organisation, as well as a wider provision that delivers training for all colleagues in the UK. A consistent approach to training demonstrates a clear priority, all the while putting safety at the heart of the business.

Continuous improvements

Through the training programmes, employees are enabled to spot and avoid injuries in all types of work settings, thereby mitigating the impact of lost time due to accidents. Continuous improvements in the promotion of Health and Safety when on client sites also take the form of robust workplace inspections and assessments.

Phil Thomas, director of Health and Safety at Securitas UK, said: “We are delighted to maintain our gold award status from RoSPA for such a long time. This accreditation is testament to our ongoing commitment to keep our colleagues and customers safe.”

Thomas added: “As the security needs of our customers change due to the shifts in our society and advances in technology, Health and Safety protocols must be agile enough to adapt to meet the needs of our personnel on the front line.”
