SARH gold award for health and safety for the fifth successive year

STAFFORD and Rural Homes (SARH) has achieved a major award for its approach to health and safety for the fifth consecutive year.

SARH retained the Gold Award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for its continued commitment to looking after the health, safety and welfare of its staff.

“For SARH to achieve this award for the fifth year running is a true testament to the priority that all our employees here at SARH place on health and safety during their working practices.  Without this dedication and commitment we would not have been able to achieve this fantastic success,” said Kathryn Ing, Health and Safety Officer for Stafford and Rural Homes.

“The hard work does not end here however, our challenge now is to continue improving our health and safety performance and ensure that the positive culture of health and safety throughout the organisation remains strong.”

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 that organisations that demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. 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,” said David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager.
