EMCOR UK has had a hugely successful year in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Awards. It has won the coveted Sir George Earle Trophy, the Facilities Management Industry Sector Award, an Order of Distinction, four Gold Medals and three Gold Awards, and was commended in the Water Industry Sector Award.
Sir George Earle Trophy
EMCOR UK has won the Sir George Earle Trophy, RoSPA’s oldest and most prestigious health and safety award. It was first given out in 1956, and the winner is selected from the highest-performing Industry Sector Award winners.
EMCOR UK was shortlisted after winning the FM Industry Sector Award for the second consecutive year, a symbol of excellence that required quantitative evidence on its improvement of FM services.
For the Sir George Earle Trophy, shortlisted companies had to answer 10 key performance questions on the structure of occupational accident prevention, problem assessments, priority reporting, and more. The board and executive HSEQ leadership and governance were also assessed by RoSPA’s expert Adjudication Panel of independent consultants and professionals, before being examined by additional judges for each sector.
The win evidences how EMCOR UK exceeded the high quality of global competition, to achieve the top accolade of RoSPA and contribute to its legacy of distinction.
