We Clean Strike Gold with RoSPA (Again!)
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is the leading voice in matters of workplace Health and Safety, consistently campaigning to reduce avoidable accidents! As an organisation we clean are proud to have been associated with RoSPA for nearly 20 years not only as a member but as the approved cleaning contractor looking after their Head Office Facilities in Edgbaston, Birmingham!
Through our we clean SAFE! Management System we strive to be at the very forefront of Safe Working Practise ensuring that our 700+ Head Office and Frontline Cleaning Staff operate within the safest possible working environments.
We were therefore understandably delighted that this has been recognised by RoSPA with their Gold Standard Award for Health & Safety Management for a 3rd consecutive year!
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 Health and Safety good practice worldwide. Currently, around 8 million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards programme, but the scheme’s global influence is even wider – with nearly 3,000 organisations from over 50 countries represented this year!
Organising and driving the we clean submission once more was Amanda Headland, ISO & Office Administrator, David Holmes-McClure, Company Health & Safety Manager and they were also supported by Duncan Thomson, Training Manager.
Amanda and David unveiling our RoSPA Gold Award at our recent Company Health & Safety Meeting in Birmingham.
As part of the intensive assessment, Amanda and David carried out comprehensive bench-marking across our entire service delivery, provided detailed answers to varying questions and offered substantial evidence, including:
- Accident Statistics
- Training Information
- Qualifications
- Philosophy on our Health & Safety Strategy and the reasoning behind our methodology
After working tirelessly on the award, Amanda who pulled the final submission together commented:
“It fills us with great pride to work for a company that puts such a large emphasis on the Health & Safety of its employees. Our internal Safe Management System, we clean SAFE! puts Health & Safety at the very forefront and heart of our daily operations and ensures that our staff work in the safest possible manner!
The RoSPA Gold Award truly reinforces our commitment to this cause, and it also provides us with recognition from RoSPA that we are going above and beyond industry expectations continuously evolving our Health and Safety standards.
This fantastic award clearly sets us above and beyond, highlighting that we are going that extra mile to ensure that our Client’s know they are working with a cleaning partner who truly values the importance of safe systems of work!”
Director, David Harker was full of praise for Amanda and David and is immensely proud of the company-wide effort to ensure we are in line with the most current Health and Safety legislation:
“First and foremost, well done to Amanda and David who went above and beyond in ensuring that we achieved this 3rd consecutive Gold Award with flying colours!
Throughout our 21 years in business we have always placed great emphasis on our Health & Safety culture and as we’ve grown, this philosophy has remained at the cornerstone of our organisation.
As is typical within the cleaning industry we carry out our services across a wide range of facilities and we have a Duty of Care to not only look after our staff, but also to ensure that we minimise all risks for our extensive client base.
With this in mind, it is imperative that our H&S culture and processes consistently evolve, and this fantastic award is testament to that.
Well done again to Amanda, David, Duncan and we clean as a whole!”
