Wessex Water’s engineering and sustainable delivery department has received an Industry Sector Award for the fourth time in five years at the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards.
The RoSPA Awards enable organisations to benchmark safety performance year on year, while also demonstrating an ongoing commitment to improving standards and procedures.
This year, Wessex Water achieved the Commended Sector Award for its proactive health and safety management systems, culture and overall performance.
In previous years, the water and sewerage company’s engineering and sustainable delivery department has also won the Industry Sector Award and Sir George Earle Trophy (2016), Industry Sector Award (2017) and Highly Commended Sector Award (2018).
Wessex Water’s continued success at the RoSPA awards places it in the top three construction companies for health and safety in the world.
Stephen Penn, Wessex Water’s compliance manager, said: “Achieving these awards while actively competing against some of the largest construction companies internationally is something we are very proud of.
“It’s great to be recognised for all the hard work that goes into keeping our people safe and driving our health and safety culture forward.”
“We look forward to further improving health and safety across the business, in addition to hopefully winning more awards.”
