UPL achieves 4th consecutive International Safety Award
Award recognises commitment to health and safety
UPL has been awarded the prestigiousBritish Safety Council International Safety Award (ISA) for the 4th year in a row.
This award recognises and rewards organisations that show a real commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace, and is acknowledged by the UK Health and Safety Executive as a powerful motivator for achieving high safety standards.
The award is evaluated by the British safety council and involves a lengthy application process covering many health & safety topics. This year’s achievement was even more notable as the evaluation criteria had been increased and there was a greater need to demonstrate best practice and prove how UPL had further developed safety within the company.
Announcing the results, Julie Nerney, British Safety Council chief executive, said: “The response to the awards has been remarkable, especially as we decided to raise the bar and introduce new categories in order to challenge companies to
do even better. The ISAs are judged by an independent panel of experts who look for hard evidence of how an organisation maintains acceptable standards of health and safety on the ground. Health and safety regulation is under the
spotlight as never before and we must all do our utmost to achieve better results with fewer resources. The benefits that well managed health and safety bring both to business and to the economy are well documented. Successful business management and well managed health and safety go hand-in-hand."
