Galloway Group is a RoSPA Award Winner

Galloway Group Ltd is celebrating winning one of these prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards in 2010.

The Silver award will be presented at a ceremony at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel on Wednesday 22nd September 2010.

The RoSPA Awards scheme is not only about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; it also encourages organisations to develop robust health and safety management systems.

David Rawlins, RoSPA's awards manager said: "Galloway Group Ltd has shown a commitment to protecting the health and will being of its employees and others. Organisations which do this deserve to have such dedication recognised and that's where the RoSPA Awards come in".

"As well as there being clear ethical reasons and legal requirements for good health and safety management, there is also a strong business case. RoSPA is delighted to publicly honour organisations which have demonstrated their work to improve performance in this sphere".

Jim Mathieson, Managing Director, said "The Company are delighted to have won this award at our first time of application. It is testimony to the efforts of all our employees who have greatly embraced the Company's desire to continually improve our health and safety culture. It is very much our intention to now strive for a gold award."

The majority of awards are non competitive and mark achievement which is graded at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations maintaining high standards can win gold medals, President's Awards and Orders of Distinction.

Competitive awards go to the best entries in 23 individual industry sectors and there are special awards for workforce involvement, training, occupational health, environmental management and the management of occupational road risk. There is also a trophy for the best organisation operating or based in Scotland. RoSPA's top accolade is the Sir George Earle Trophy.

The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2010 are sponsored by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.

RoSPA Deputy President, Lord Brougham & Vaux will host a gala dinner on September 22nd for representatives of award winning organisations at the Hilton Glasgow Hotel.
