Mitie has been awarded four Gold Medals by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for the strong health and safety performance of its Cleaning, Security, Waste and Landscaping businesses.

The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK.

The programme recognises organisations’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work, looking at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

Now into its 67th year, the Awards have almost 2,000 entries every year, covering nearly 50 countries.

The company has also been awarded the RoSPA President’s Award for receiving 10 consecutive Gold Awards for its performance on the Cumbria Consortium contract at Sellafield nuclear site, where it delivers integrated facilities management services.

The President’s Award is given to organisations who have achieved a Gold Award for 10 consecutive years and highlights Mitie’s longstanding commitment to QHSE, which is even more important at highly regulated sites, such as those in critical infrastructure.

Peter Dickinson, Chief of Staff and General Counsel, Mitie, said: “As a leading British employer, the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues is our top priority, and we are devoted to ensuring a safe and positive work environment for all our people.

“Having received four Golds across our business and the President’s Award for our work at Sellafield, this recognition from RoSPA is testament to our commitment to embed QHSE into the fabric of our business.”
