RoSPA awards Laing O'Rourke triple gold

Laing O’Rourke is celebrating as RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention Accidents) announce a trio of national Occupational Health and Safety awards to be presented at a ceremony in mid-May.

Demonstrating excellence in work-related health and safety performance, Crown House Technologies, Construction North and the project at Middlesbrough College Campus have each received RoSPA’s prestigious Occupational Health & Safety Gold Award.

Having received the award for the 18th consecutive year, Crown House Technologies will also be awarded RoSPA’s Order of Distinction. The Order of Distinction is awarded to companies which demonstrate a sustained focus on the safety and well-being of their workforce and have achieved a minimum of 15 consecutive Gold Awards.

David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager said, ‘Crown House Technologies Ltd has shown a commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its employees and others. We hope other businesses and organisations will follow its lead and strive for continuous improvement in health and safety management.”

On hearing the news of the 2008 award, Liam Cummins, Managing Director of Crown House Technologies, said “I am delighted that our efforts to get everyone home safely every day have, again, been recognised by RoSPA. We believe that ensuring the health and safety of our people is the single most important activity for each one of us. The RoSPA award is both recognition of our individual and collective commitment and motivation to keep striving for performance improvement.”

The Middlesbrough College project was the only single project to win a gold award after celebrating ¾ million hours worked without a single reportable accident.
