Continental Landscapes Ltd. achieved the Gold award in the 60th year of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2016.

The presentation of the award takes place during a ceremony at the ExCeL, London, on June 21, 2016, as the event marked its diamond anniversary.

The RoSPA Awards is celebrating 60 years of presenting highly-regarded and sought after accolades to businesses and organisations which have shown commitment to accident and ill-health prevention.

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.

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards and events, stated: “To win an award at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA Awards is a great achievement for our winners. It recognises their commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other organisations to aspire to. We offer them our congratulations.

“This year was doubly special for our winners as their achievements were recognised as the RoSPA Awards celebrated its diamond anniversary, which is a ringing endorsement of the thousands of businesses and organisations that have committed to continuous improvement in accident and ill-health prevention.”

Andy Collins, Training and Compliance Co-ordinator for Continental Landscapes, said: “Being awarded the prestigious gold award for occupational safety over consecutive years is testament to the great safety culture within the Company, and everyone at CLL is delighted with the achievement. There is no better recognition of the hard work that all of our team put in to reach and maintain this standard, except maybe our incident statistics reducing year after year”.
