Fugro GEOS wins Top Safety Award for the fifth year
Fugro GEOS has scooped a prestigious safety award from one of the world's leading training and advisory bodies, for the fifth consecutive year.
Following gruelling tests by a strict independent adjudicating panel, Fugro GEOS was given the esteemed International Safety Award by the British
Safety Council.
Winners must have good safety policies, plans and commitment to health and safety at the highest level and also be endeavouring to improve the
safety culture within their organisation. They must detail their health and safety officers' qualifications and provide information about significant
advances they have made in health and safety for the year.
Mr Brian Nimick, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, says: "For more than 50 years, we have led the way in promoting health, safety and
environmental best practice in society. In the 21st century, many organisations worldwide are now making health and safety a top priority. Through
achieving an International Safety Award, Fugro GEOS is helping to make our vision of a safe working environment a reality."
Prime Minister Gordon Brown added his support: "I am delighted to send my congratulations to all of those organisations being presented with an award
by the British Safety Council. These awards recognise the crucial success that these organisations and their employees have achieved in their pursuit
of excellence in the management of health, safety and environmental matters at an international level. The event provides an opportunity to publicly
recognise the important contribution made by the British Safety Council in promoting health, safety and environmental best practice. I would like to
place on record my appreciation of the support given by the Council in raising public awareness of the benefits effective health, safety and environmental
management brings to business, employees, the environment and the economy as a whole. I am confident that by continuing to work in partnership with you,
employers and employees we can tackle the many challenges we face to achieve a healthier, safer and sustainable society. We will strive to accomplish our
goals in reducing the burden on employers and employees and cutting the 36 million working days currently lost each year through work-related ill-health
and injury."
