International facilities service provider, OCS, has been awarded two Gold RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Awards for its outstanding commitment to Health and Safety.
The RoSPA Awards recognise organisations that have successfully implemented and maintained comprehensive health and safety management systems. Entrants are rigorously assessed on various criteria including accident prevention, risk assessment, employee training and engagement.
OCS was awarded a Gold RoSPA for its National Grid Vegetation and Industrial Painting contracts, where the business consistently demonstrated exemplary health and safety standards implementing proactive measures to identify and mitigate potential risks across its operations.
John Prowse, National Operations Director at OCS said: “Safety is a key priority for all operations at OCS. By achieving the Gold Award, we have proven our commitment to safeguarding our colleagues, customers and the public from potential harm, and have set a benchmark for others in the industry to follow.
“We are committed to ensuring safety plays a key role in every facet of the business. We recognise this requires a sustained commitment and active involvement at all levels – from the board, to managers, support teams and frontline colleagues. This has helped to create the necessary conditions for high standards in safety performance and continual improvements towards an injury-free workplace.”
The Gold RoSPA Award adds to the growing list of accolades and recognitions OCS has received for its commitment to excellence. As a company, OCS has been recognised with 12 RoSPA awards in 2023 and says it remains steadfast in its pursuit of continuous improvement and will continue to invest in health and safety initiatives to ensure the wellbeing of its workforce and all stakeholders.
