A Gold Award was presented to MITIE during the Safety & Health Expo 2008, the health and safety at work exhibition.

David Rawlins, RoSPA awards manager, said: “MITIE has shown a commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its employees and others. We hope other organisations will follow its lead and strive for continuous improvement in health and safety management.”
Martyn Freeman, managing director of MITIE’s cleaning and environmental business, said: “We take health and safety very seriously. Winning this award proves that we have what it takes to protect our people and that we have the right processes in place.”

The RoSPA awards are not just about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; they help to ensure that organisations have good health and safety management systems in place. Entering the awards scheme reinforces the message that good health and safety is good business and clearly demonstrates an organisation’s dedication to the achievement of high levels of performance in this crucial area.
