Group gets gold medal for safety

For the fifth year running, Housing Plus has been presented with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Gold Award, making it automatically eligible for a Gold Medal.

Housing Plus' Group Chief Executive Debbie Griffiths says: “Winning this award is a major achievement as it shows how seriously we take health and safety. We do everything possible to ensure our staff are looked after in the workplace and will continue to work hard to build on our already high standards.”

The award is given to organisations which have achieved a very high level of performance, demonstrating well developed occupational health and safety management systems and culture, outstanding control of risk and very low levels of error, harm and loss.
