Irish company Actavo has been celebrated for its excellence in health and safety standards with four prestigious awards.

The firm was recognised at the annual Health and Safety Awards organised by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in the UK.

Three of the RoSPA awards recognise Actavo for its long-term achievements in health and safety, including its road safety strategy, across its Industrial and Network & In-Home Divisions. The fourth award is an industry specific award, which recognises Actavo's use of technology in managing road safety.

Actavo Industrial Solutions UK has been awarded the RoSPA Order of Distinction Award following 18 consecutive years of achieving Gold Awards.

Actavo Network & In-Home was awarded three awards including: the RoSPA President's Award, which recognises the company's achievement of winning the Gold Award for 11 consecutive years, the RoSPA Fleet Safety Gold Medal, in recognition of six consecutive years of Gold Awards and the RoSPA Fleet Safety Technology Trophy, which recognises the company's road safety strategy and excellence in managing occupational road risk.
