RoSPA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, has honoured Deceuninck UK with its President’s Awardin recognition of ten consecutive years of Gold Awards for its commitment to health and safety.

Lew Harvey, the systems house’s health & safety training coordinator, said: “The RoSPA President’s Award is a huge accomplishment for everyone that works at our Calne facility.

“The company has grown considerably over the last decade, with the introduction of larger premises and additional machinery and we have had to constantly update and improve our health and safety practices to ensure that we meet RoSPA’s strict criteria.

“Ten years’ ago, we had around 50-60 members of staff, but we have more than doubled that now. Despite the larger workforce, the number of accidents we record annually has dropped significantly, from roughly 30 incidences a year to as little as five.”

RoSPA achievements director Julia Small said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.

“RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the workplace.”
