Peveril Homes wins RoSPA Award

Belper-based Peveril Homes has won a Gold Medal award, for the sixth consecutive time, in the prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2011.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), a safety charity, launched its awards programme 55 years ago. The scheme looks not only at accident records, but also entrants’ health and safety management systems, including important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement.

The Gold Medal award was presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, National Exhibition Centre.

David Rawlins, RoSPA’s Awards Manager, said: “RoSPA firmly believes that organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. Peveril Homes has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”

Colin Wright, Construction and Technical Director, said: “We were delighted to collect this award and the fact that it’s our sixth consecutive year doing so, is a testament to our dedication in ensuring the health and safety of our staff and anyone who steps onto a Peveril Homes development. I would like to congratulate every member of the team who has worked so hard to contribute to this on-going achievement.”

The majority of RoSPA’s awards are non-competitive, marking achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations maintaining high standards can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.
