President’s Award for Altrad

Scaffolding and industrial services specialist Altrad NSG has received the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) President’s Award for 10 years of continuous safety excellence.

The President’s Award is made to companies which manage to gain 10 consecutive RoSPA gold medal awards for occupational health & safety. Dating back to 2005, Altrad has now achieved over 2.2 million hours of work without a lost-time accident at its Ineos ChlorVinyls facility in Runcorn.

Howard Satchell, Altrad NSG compliance manager, said: “This is an outstanding achievement from the team at Ineos ChlorVinyls – to go 10 years and over two million hours without a lost-time accident, demonstrates to our clients and potential customers that we are a responsible business that places health and safety as top priority.”

“We have 110 staff at the site, providing multi-discipline maintenance works including scaffolding, rope access, painting and industrial cleaning, as well as thermal insulation and sheet metal work. Our ethos is to engage with every employee and directly involve them in the development and implementation of health and safety schemes. This gives our staff ownership and helps them to understand the importance of workplace safety.”
