GeoPost UK wins health and safety award
Express parcels group GeoPost UK, Interlink Express and Parceline’s parent company, has won the prestigious Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Occupational Health & Safety Award for 2003.
The company received the SILVER award at a special ceremony held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, Birmingham recently. The award recognises the company’s achievement in raising health and safety standards, and improving performance across its vast 134-depot nationwide network.
The RoSPA awards are not simply an accident rate scheme but are based on adjudication of a broad portfolio of evidence about the level of development and performance of a company’s health and safety management system.
Endorsing GeoPost’s excellent occupational health and safety management system, RoSPA president Lord Faulkner of Worcester said; ‘As a SILVER award winner, GeoPost UK is truly a leader in health and safety. By promoting best practise the company has significantly reduced accidents and incidents in the workplace and simultaneously increased productivity and profitability.’
Malcolm Copson, health and safety manager at GeoPost UK said; ‘Our system does not only ensure that we reduce the number of accidents and cases of ill health at work. The system distinguishes GeoPost UK as an organisation which reinforces the message that good health and safety is good business – a clear commitment to the achievement of high performance levels within a safe environment.’
