• Baltimore Group receives RoSPA Silver Award for second year running!

  • National integrated facilities management Company, Baltimore Group, is among the winners in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2015.

     

    The Silver award in the prestigious annual scheme run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) was presented during a ceremony at ExCeL London on June 17 2014.

     

    In 2014, Baltimore Group were awarded the RoSPA Silver Award and have worked hard as a team to maintain standards this year. The Silver Award demonstrates Baltimore Group’s commitment to health & safety.

     

    Peter Emmonds, Head of Health, Safety & Quality at Baltimore Group, said: “We are extremely proud to have received the RoSPA Silver award again this year which has demonstrated our commitment to health & safety as a Company”.

     

    As the UK’s family safety charity, RoSPA’s mission to save lives and reduce injuries covers all ages and stages of life. In support of this mission, the RoSPA Awards, which date back 58 years, recognise commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention at work. Through the scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

     

    David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “The RoSPA Awards encourage the raising of occupational health and safety standards across the board. Organisations that gain recognition for their health and safety management systems, such as Baltimore Group, contribute to a collective raising of the bar for other organisations to aspire to, and we offer them our congratulations.”

     

    The majority of RoSPA’s awards are non-competitive, grading achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations that maintain high standards in consecutive years can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.

     

    Competitive awards are presented in more than 20 industry sectors, and they also recognise excellence in specialist areas, such as the management of occupational road risk (MORR).
