Brian Kelly, Group CEO of Actavo, said: "Actavo is honoured to have once again received this recognition from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. RoSPA Awards are widely recognised as being among the foremost international accolades in the health and safety sector. Safety is our number one company value, and these awards are an acknowledgement of that culture and of our long-term track record of excellence in this area."

Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice. Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK's longest-running H&S industry awards. The annual awards are categorised by different levels of achievement: Merit, Bronze, Silver and Gold, as well as long-term awards that recognise companies for achieving Gold Awards for multiple consecutive years. 

Julia Small, RoSPA's Achievements Director, added: "Accidents at work and work-related ill health don't just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they significantly impact an individual's quality of life. That's why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded.

"We are thrilled that Actavo has won these RoSPA Awards and would like to congratulate them on showing an unwavering commitment to keeping their employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury."
