Food production sites operated by the Two Sisters Food Group have won safety awards from RoSPA.
Grimsby Soups and Sauces, operating at the town’s Europarc, won a gold award, and the Gunstones Bakery at Stubley Lane in Dronfield have been given a silver.
The RoSPA Health and Safety Award scheme is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK. Now into its 67th year, the Awards have almost 2,000 entries every year, covering nearly 50 countries and a reach of over seven million employees. The programme recognises organisations’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work, looking at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
While most awards are non-competitive – recognising individual organisations’ achievements – competitive awards are presented in 20 industry sectors and for specialist areas of health and safety management.
William Elworthy, Meal Solutions Divisional Health & Safety Manager, said: “We are extremely proud to have achieved these awards, our Health and Safety teams work incredibly hard to maintain very high standards in our sites.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: “We are thrilled that the 2 Sisters Meal Solutions sites have won RoSPA Awards and would like to congratulate them on showing an unwavering commitment to keeping their colleagues safe from accidental harm and injury.”
