Success in the RoSPA Awards 2013 for Antalis
Friday 19. April 2013 - Antalis, the leading European distributor of paper, packaging solutions and visual communication products, has achieved the Gold Award for the second year running in recognition for its approach to occupational safety and health in an awards scheme run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
Dating back 57 years, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the largest and longest-running programme of its kind in the UK. It recognises commitment to accident and ill health prevention and is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas. The scheme not only looks at accident records, but also entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “RoSPA firmly believes that organisations that demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. Antalis has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”
Mike Hann, Antalis UK Group Health and Safety Manager, said: “Antalis is thrilled to have been recognised for its efforts in improving health and safety in the workplace. We will, of course, be continuing in our commitment towards accident and ill health prevention.”
The majority of awards that RoSPA presents are non-competitive, marking achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations maintaining high standards can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.
Competitive awards recognise excellence in specialist areas, such as the management of occupational road risk (MORR) and are presented in more than 20 sectors.
The Gold award in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2013 will be presented to Antalis in a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Thursday May 16, 2013.
