Stantec receives RoSPA Order of Distinction

Stantec UK Limited is celebrating after landing an internationally recognised award for demonstrating high health and safety standards.

Stantec UK Limited has received a RoSPA Order of Distinction (18 consecutive Golds) Health and Safety Award for working hard to ensure its employees, clients and client partners get home safely to their families at the end of every working day.

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.

Claire Hyde, UK HSSE Manager said: “I’m thrilled to receive our eighteenth RoSPA Gold Award and fourth Order of Distinction. Every year the bar is raised as we grow our SaferTogether culture. RoSPA look for evidence of leadership commitment, employee engagement and proactive management of health, safety and wellbeing risk. Additionally, this year the panel evaluated Stantec’s approach to managing Coronavirus risk and the procedures and policies put in place to ensure the safety of everyone during this unprecedented period.

The Stantec SaferTogether pillars of active conversations; knowledge and processes; building relationships and a 24/7 behavioural mindset remain our focus for continual growth of our health and safety culture. We are better together when we put people first!”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s achievements director, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.

“RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the workplace. Employees, wherever they may be should be able to go to work safe in the knowledge that they will return home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. Our RoSPA Award winners are central to achieving this goal. By entering they are driving up standards and setting new safety benchmarks for organisations across the world. Currently, around 7million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s global influence is even wider – with nearly 2000 organisations from 46 countries represented this year. I would also particularly want to thank our main sponsor NEBOSH, the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health – for their continued support for the 16th consecutive year.”
