MUSCAT: S&T Interiors and Contracting has won the silver award for the second consecutive year at the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2017 for its global group-wide HSE initiatives. The Royal Society runs the annual scheme for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

S&T’s global HSE initiatives including Visual Impact Training (VIT), C.A.R.E - HSE global newsletter, HSE posters, heat stress awareness training, and emergency evacuation training contributed towards winning of the award.

The Visual Impact Training (VIT) crosses language and literacy boundaries and demonstrates to employees the impact of unsafe acts in their day-to-day lives by replicating the site scenarios. The C.AR.E. newsletter is a dedicated means of communicating vital safety-related information to all staff worldwide. Heat Stress Prevention Programme provides workers with training and equipment necessary to protect them from heat related exposures and illnesses.

The Emergency Evacuation Training is designed to make people aware of fire prevention procedures and practices. HSE plays a central role in S&T’s business strategy, in creating a safe workplace.

The RoSPA award will be presented during a ceremony at the ExCeL, London on June 20. The award was achieved during a special year for family-safety charity RoSPA, as it celebrates its centenary.

Wayne Taylor, S&T group head HSE said: “Winning the coveted RoSPA Silver award is a proud moment for us and winning it for the second consecutive year reaffirms S&T’s commitment towards health and safety at all times. C.A.R.E. - Creating a risk-free environment is our aim and this recognition is testament to the tireless efforts by our HSE teams, staff, management, and our clients in continuously improving systems and instituting sustainable solutions.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards are the most prestigious in the world of occupational health and safety, and held in high regard around the world, as winning one demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record. Achieving the standard required is no mean feat.”

“This is a special year in the history of RoSPA, and we congratulate all of our winners in this, our centenary year,” she added.
