Forest Garden secures global health and safety award

Forest Garden Group has been recognised for its outstanding commitment to health and safety in the workplace.

 

The company, which is based in Hartlebury, Worcestershire, has been awarded the Silver Health and Safety Award by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), demonstrating Forest Garden’s commitment to the safety of its staff, contractors and customers.

 

It was Forest Garden’s first year of applying for the award, which was given in the Occupational Achievement category.

 

Ben Whitehouse, Forest Garden Group’s Head of Compliance, said: “We are thrilled and proud to receive this special award from RoSPA at our first time of applying. 

 

“It is testament to the positive safety culture we have in place thanks to the key roles our network of managers, supervisors, team leaders and safety representatives all play, as well as the performance and support of all our employees.  I especially would like to congratulate my team on their continued impressive performance and hard work that has gone into creating this positive culture across the Group sites.”

 

“Workplace injuries and ill health significantly impact the quality of life for our staff and their families. This RoSPA award demonstrates our continued dedication as an organisation to ensure everybody connected with our business goes home safe and well to family and friends.”

 

The RoSPA Awards program is now in its 68th year and is the UK’s largest and most impactful health and safety programme. With almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, impacting over seven million employees, they offer a platform to spotlight an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in health and safety.

 

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: "Workplace accidents don't just pose financial risks and operational disruptions; they significantly impact the quality of life for individuals. This is why acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital.

 

“We congratulate Forest Garden Group Limited for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”
