The competency that staff demonstrate in their day to day work has been instrumental in shaping 4site’s Safety Management System and driving continual improvement. 4site staff are not “good at safety”, but they are good at their jobs and that is one of the key factors in preventing accidents at work.”

“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 7million people are directly impacted by the RoSPA Awards, but the scheme’s influence is even wider.”
