In April 2012 we once again put ourselves forward for an ‘International Safety Award’ given by the British Safety Council; which we have won every year since 2000. This year was no exception, for the second time we have achieved a Merit level award.
The British Safety Council has 7000 members, of which 600 were rewarded for their achievements and in the whole of the UK only two of those who achieved the Merit accolade were lift companies.
Our Health & Safety Officer Tony Blakemore who submitted our application for the award said, “It is always good to add another BSC plaque to the reception wall but a Merit is even better – especially alongside our newly accredited status of Level 2 training provider for BSC too”.
John Wilkinson Director of Lift & Engineering Services Ltd added, “We will continually strive to improve on all aspects of safety within our company and by doing so, next year we hope to achieve the highest award level with a Distinction!”.
