Bracknell Roofing has achieved the prestigious Gold Award in this year's Safety in Roofing Awards Scheme run by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).
The scheme aims to promote health and safety amongst member companies and recognises those that have taken positive steps to reduce accidents and implement a safety culture throughout their business.
Bracknell Roofing was awarded the Gold Award after the NFRC carried out a full assessment of its health and safety policy.
The NFRC recognised that Bracknell Roofing had comprehensive health and safety procedures in place, complied with all relevant statutory requirements and Codes of Practice, carried out ongoing training and achieved a consistently low accident rate.
Bracknell Roofing believes that the safety of its employees and personnel on site is a fundamental right, which is why it places great importance on protecting everyone from foreseeable personal injury.
Jim Forsyth, Managing Director of Bracknell Roofing, said: "Receiving this prestigious award is a welcome achievement for Bracknell Roofing and demonstrates our high standards when it comes to safety. It is important that when everyone goes home after a day's work, they go home with no injuries or ill effects as a result of their job."
He added: "I would like to congratulate everyone within our business as they have all worked hard as a team to earn this award."
On each project, large or small, Bracknell Roofing assigns a qualified person responsible for health and safety of both its own personnel as well as everyone else affected by the work it carries out, including, sub-contractors, customers, visitors, and the general public.
The company operates a fully comprehensive Health & Safety management system and holds regular Safety Development Group meetings to review performance, set appropriate targets and to agree policy.
"I would like to congratulate Bracknell Roofing on achieving the Gold Award for safety," said Mike Long, NFRC Chairman of Health, Safety, and Environmental Committee. "This is a great achievement and will help promote a positive attitude to health and safety across the whole industry."
Bracknell Roofing is a member of the NFRC and British Safety Council and has won many prestigious safety awards including British Safety Council National Safety award for 10 consecutive years.
