We’re proud to announce that Sweco UK & Ireland has earned the prestigious Order of Distinction from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for an impressive 21st year in a row.

Now in its 69th year, and with almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, covering over seven million employees, the hashtag#RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme.

Dave Matthews, HSQE Director at Sweco reflects:

“I am thrilled that we have received the RoSPA ‘Order of Distinction’ Award. This recognition is a testament to the dedication and effort of everyone at Sweco UK & Ireland. It highlights our commitment to positively impacting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees, clients, and the communities we serve.”

Melody Bagnall CMIOSH, Head of Internal Health & Safety at Sweco adds:

“It is truly rewarding to see our persistent efforts in health and safety recognised for another year with the RoSPA ‘Order of Distinction’ Award. This achievement reflects the collective dedication of our team at Sweco, who continuously strive to uphold the highest standards in ensuring a safe and healthy environment.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said:

“Sweco should be proud of the hard work and commitment to keeping people safe that has resulted in a RoSPA Award, which honours those organisations who have achieved the highest standards in health and safety in the workplace.

RoSPA regards Sweco as a strong example of the importance of making accident prevention central to any successful organisation, not just for the benefit of employees, customers and clients, but also society as a whole.”

Sponsored by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), the RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.

Dee Arp, NEBOSH Chief Quality Officer and the Head Judge of the RoSPA Awards, said:

“NEBOSH is delighted to be the headline sponsor of the RoSPA Awards. Recognising excellence in health and safety is essential to ensure we celebrate achievement, but it is also about reinforcing a culture of care, accountability and continuous improvement.

These awards serve as a powerful reminder that employee safety and wellbeing transcends borders and looking after our people, so they can go home safe, healthy and happy every day, also drives sustainable success and resilience.”
