Ryebridge receives RoSPA Gold Award for Health and Safety achievements on Foxtrot Taxiway

Ryebridge Constrction is celebrating after landing an internationally-recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards.

Ryebridge has received a RoSPA Gold Health and Safety Award for working hard to ensure its staff, subcontractors and all associated with the project get home safely to their families at the end of every working day.

Foxtrot Taxiway and de-icing facility was completed in September 2019 with just under 100,000 man hours. No accidents, incidents and cable strikes throughout the duration of the works.

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.

Daniel Coyle Managing Director said: “this is now our ninth successive RoSPA Gold Award and I am very proud of everyone involved. It is great to have recognition of our safety culture and performance but this is not about one single project. We have a shared organisational belief in contributing positively to the Health and Safety of everyone.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations around the world, making it one of the most sought-after global accolades in health and safety.

“RoSPA wants every employee, wherever they are, to work safe in the knowledge that they will be going home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. The RoSPA Award winners are vital to help achieve this goal, as by entering they are driving up standards and setting new benchmarks for organisations everywhere. Currently, around 7 million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s influence is even wider.”
