Dyer & Butler Aviation Division recognised for health & safety excellence with RoSPA order of distinction awards

Dyer & Butler has received a prestigious RoSPA award for demonstrating consistent health and safety excellence in the aviation sector.

Dyer & Butler’s aviation division received the internationally-recognised RoSPA Order of Distinction Awards in association with clients, Gatwick Airport Ltd and Heathrow Airport Ltd. The awards were presented in recognition of achievements in health and safety management systems including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

In addition, Dyer & Butler Ltd has received a RoSPA Order of Distinction Award (15 consecutive Golds) and its rail division (9 consecutive Golds) and Dyer & Butler Electrical Ltd (5 consecutive Golds) have received RoSPA Gold Medal Awards.

Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice. Every year, nearly two thousand entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK’s longest-running health and safety industry awards.

Dyer & Butler Safety, Sustainability & Training Director Steve Broom commented: “The achievement of this year’s RoSPA Awards is a special moment in Dyer & Butler’s health and safety culture. Achieving an Order of Distinction is a firm demonstration of our aviation division’s commitment to health and safety and the reinforcement of our values in delivering safely for our people and our key clients. Whilst it is right to stop and celebrate our achievements, the hard work to maintain our standards will continue to ensure that everyone is “Safe by choice…not by chance.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations around the world, making it one of the most sought-after global accolades in health and safety.

“RoSPA wants every employee, wherever they are, to work safe in the knowledge that they will be going home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day. The RoSPA Award winners are vital to help achieve this goal, as by entering they are driving up standards and setting new benchmarks for organisations everywhere. Currently, around seven million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s influence is even wider.”
