Kendal-based James Cropper has been awarded a top safety award for the seventh year running.
The paper products group has been given a RoSPA Gold health and safety award.
Phil Wild, James Cropper chief executive, said: “We’re thrilled to be awarded for our health and safety credentials. In a year where health and safety has been a focus more than ever before, this is a fantastic accolade.”
Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice.
Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK’s longest-running health and safety industry awards.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s achievements director, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for health and safety worldwide.
“RoSPA is very proud of the achievements of its entrants, and with this award we recognise the best of the best, those organisations that have gone the extra mile, raising the bar for the delivery of safety in the workplace. Employees, wherever they may be should be able to go to work safe in the knowledge that they will return home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day.”
