Jack Lunn (Construction) Ltd, based in Pudsey, Leeds, is celebrating winning one of the prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards in 2008.
The Silver Award will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, National Exhibition Centre, on Wednesday May 14, alongside Safety & Health Expo 2008, the UK’s premier health and safety at work exhibition.
David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager, said: “Jack Lunn Construction 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”.
Stephen Bradbury, Managing Director of Jack Lunn (Construction) Ltd said: “The health and safety of our employees, and the members of the community in which we work, is of paramount importance to Jack Lunn Construction and we are delighted that the extra steps we take to enforce good health and safety procedures has been recognised”.
The RoSPA awards are not just about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; they help to ensure that organisations have good health and safety management systems in place. Entering the awards scheme reinforces the message that good health and safety is good business and clearly demonstrates an organisation’s dedication to the achievement of high levels of performance in this crucial area.
The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2008 are sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.
The President of RoSPA, Baroness Anne Gibson of Market Rasen, Deputy President, Lord Jordan of Bournville, and Vice-President, Lord Brougham & Vaux, will host gala dinners on May 13-15 for representatives of award-winning organisations at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, with entertainment by one of the country’s top live act, comedian Ed Byrne.
