Mike Robinson,
Chief Executive of British Safety Council, congratulated Orica UK on their
success in winning an International Safety Award 2024 with a Pass: “The British
Safety Council applauds Orica UK on their achievement. The award is to
recognise their commitment and hard work to keep their employees and workplaces
free of injury and ill health.
“The vision of British Safety Council is that no-one should be
injured or made ill through their work – anywhere in the
world. Achieving this requires more than complying with legislation; it means
people committed not only to health and safety but also more and more to
workplace wellbeing and impelling others to follow suit.
“The
long list of winners of the International Safety Awards, demonstrates that a
significant number of companies recognise that effective management of health and
safety risks
is a business growth enabler, benefiting not just employees, but organisations
and wider society. By celebrating the achievements of the 1124 winners of the
2024 International Safety Awards and over six decades of
improving health and safety standards around the world, we encourage other
organisations to adopt this approach and place employees’ health, safety and
wellbeing at the core of their business.”
“Our
heartfelt congratulations to Orica UK. All of those working at Orica UK should be
enormously proud of their achievement.”
