SARH goes for gold

SARH has been honoured with a major award for its approach to health and safety.

SARH has retained a Gold Award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for its commitment to looking after the welfare of its staff.

 It is the third consecutive year SARH has achieved the award.

 “Ensuring our staff are able to work in a safe and secure environment is a major priority for SARH so we are delighted to retain our RoSPA gold award for the third year running,” said Kathryn Ing, Health and Safety Officer for Stafford and Rural Homes.

 “Our work doesn’t stop here though as we are constantly striving to improve our health and safety procedures and I hope we are able to retain this award for many years to come.”

 The award – based on individual, occupational health and safety performance – required SARH to answer 10 questions on their health and safety management.

 This evidence was then assessed by RoSPA against strict judging criteria.

 “RoSPA firmly believes organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition,” said David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager.

 “Stafford and Rural Homes has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”

 SARH’s Gold award will be presented to Kathryn Ing at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, at the National Exhibition Centre, on Thursday, May 19.
