Buxton Building Contractors, based in Caterham, has fought off global competition to win a prestigious RoSPA Award, demonstrating its commitment to health and safety excellence.
Buxton's won the RoSPA Gold Medal (7 consecutive Golds) Award for health and safety performance. This achievement underscores their dedication to ensuring their staff get home safely at the end of every working day.
The ultimate symbol of achievement in safety and excellence, the internationally renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards recognise organisations, teams, and projects across all sectors for their unwavering commitment to protecting lives. By earning a RoSPA Award, organisations not only receive recognition for their accomplishments but also become part of a legacy that values dedication to high safety standards and the well-being of individuals.
The esteemed RoSPA Awards programme now celebrates its 68th year as the UK’s largest and most impactful health and safety programme. With almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, impacting over seven million employees, they offer a platform to spotlight an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in health and safety.
Whether entrants seek non-competitive excellence recognition or vie for competitive awards across 32 industry sectors, the RoSPA Awards provide an unparalleled opportunity to stand among leaders shaping safer, healthier workplaces.
As of this year, the RoSPA award entry process can be used as reflective practice to contribute to continuing professional development (CPD).
David Norman, Managing Director, said: “We are immensely proud of this achievement. Special thanks to Colin Moorcroft, our EHS Manager, along with the wider team, for ensuring our commitment to health and safety excellence is recognised.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: "Workplace accidents don't just pose financial risks and operational disruptions; they significantly impact the quality of life for individuals. This is why acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital.
“We congratulate Buxton's for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients, and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”
Sponsored by Croner-i, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.
Ben Chaplain, Managing Director at Croner-i, said: "We are proud to sponsor the RoSPA Awards for a second year, which emphasises our dedication to prioritising health and safety—an essential foundation for lasting success and wellbeing at work.”
