28 April 2009

2020 Knowsley, a joint venture between Liverpool City Council and consulting and business services group Mouchel has won a prestigious RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Award.

The company won a silver award for its commitment to occupational health and safety.

2020 Knowsley had to provide RoSPA with details of their track record in occupational health and safety, what processes and management structure they have in place, and what they plan to do in future to improve matters further.

David Rawlins, RoSPA awards manager, said "2020 Knowsley has shown a commitment to protecting the health and wellbeing of its employees and others.  Entering the RoSPA Awards reinforces the message that good health and safety is good for business, and clearly demonstrates an organisation's dedication to improving performance in this crucial area."

Tony Muir, operations director for 2020 Knowsley, said: "2020 Knowsley is proud of its commitment to safeguarding the wellbeing of our employees and others, so it's great to achieve external recognition by means of this Silver award.  We continue to work closely with our parent company Mouchel and our partner Knowsley Council and with employees and other stakeholders to improve our performance further."

The RoSPA Awards are not just about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; they help to ensure that organisations have good health and safety management systems in place.

In the current economic climate, awards are more important than ever because they demonstrate that employers care about their employees and will not let their standards of health and safety practice slip even if times are tough.

The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2009 are sponsored by NEBOSH (the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), the leading health and safety professional examining body.
