RoSPA Gold Medal Award
We are delighted to announce that Gasway have successfully achieved the Gold Medal award from RoSPA marking our success in achieving RoSPA Gold status for the fifth consecutive year.
The RoSPA Gold Medal Award stands as a prestigious recognition in the realm of Health and Safety, symbolizing excellence and commitment to ensuring the well-being of employees and communities.
Established by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), this esteemed accolade sets a high standard for organisations worldwide, inspiring a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
To earn a Gold Medal, Gasway needed to showcase outstanding safety performance - from accident rates, safety culture to continuous improvement initiatives, every aspect of the business Safety, Health and Environmental activities were assessed.
Nick Bartram, MD,
“It is an honour to now have received this award for five consecutive years as recognition and testament to our commitment to safety. Achieving the Gold Medal demands a holistic approach to safety management and by embracing best practices and driving continuous improvement activity we as a business not only mitigate our risks but also create a culture of safety that allows us to stand out. I want to congratulate and thank everyone for their collective hard work which has contributed to this achievement”.
James Harden, CMIOSH, CMgr, Health & Safety Manager at Gasway
“Being awarded the RoSPA Gold award for the fifth consecutive year is no mean feat and to be recognised with the prestigious Gold Medal is a testament to the commitment and hard work of all Gasway employees who play their part in helping us to continually achieve these high standards”.
Commitment to Health & Safety: Continuous Improvement and Success at Gasway
Gasway has gone from strength to strength following its initial 2019 Silver award with a focus on year-on-year continuous improvement activity as a key part of our Health & Safety Agenda. The past five years have seen the introduction of new working methods and safety initiatives alongside the unprecedented demand placed on the business during the Covid-19 pandemic which saw Gasway engineers designated as key workers.
The continuation of compliance services keeping customers safe in their homes during this period saw the introduction of various measures and controls to keep our staff and customers safe and to be awarded a gold award for our Health & Safety standards during this time was a huge testament in itself.
Our commitment to Health & Safety has also been demonstrated through our investment in our team which has grown supporting the highest level of support and advice across the business. We are extremely proud of the team and their achievements.
