Olympian effort wins ECS Engineering Services RoSPA Gold 10 years on the trot

ECS Engineering Services has won a prestigious RoSPA Gold Safety Award for the tenth year in succession. The Nottinghamshire based engineering solutions company is thus indisputably a leader in developing and maintaining safe working practices for its own personnel, contractors and clients who work in the water, utilities, energy and environment sectors.

Each award recognises the commitment ECS shows to maintaining the very highest safety standards in working environments where potential hazards and danger abound. The unbroken run of ten such awards highlights the fact that safety is at the forefront of all its planning and operational decisions.

The RoSPA Safety Awards are recognised across many industries and sectors, in the UK and internationally, for promoting advances in health and safety management, including practices such as leadership development and workforce involvement. Awarded in Bronze, Silver and Gold classifications, they are the longest running such awards, having been set up in 1956, and receive nominations from companies and organisations not only in Britain but around the world.

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Head of Qualifications, Awards and Events, says: “The RoSPA Awards are the most highly-respected in the health and safety arena, with almost 2,000 entrants every year. They allow organisations to prove their excellence in the workplace, demonstrating a commitment to the wellbeing of not only employees but all those who interact with them.”

Clark Williamson, Contracts Director at ECS comments: “Receiving this award for ten years in a row year is quite an achievement. It serves as recognition of everyone’s determination to maintain the highest safety standards. This would not be possible without the continuing efforts of every staff member to be proactive in keeping themselves and others safe.”

Safety is important in all working environments, but in the sectors ECS serves, it is absolutely paramount – the environments can be challenging, the work itself demanding and often the working conditions can change in the blink of an eye. As such, ECS has built up a bank of specialist expertise.

“Everyone in ECS is safety conscious, whether they work in-house or on-site,” says Williamson. “We put a lot of effort into training and refresher courses and we regularly review actual experiences so that we can constantly update our ideas and standards.”

ECS and other recipients will be presented with their awards during a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on Thursday July 5, 2018.
