04-Jul-2008 - LGC awarded RoSPA's 'Order of
Distinction'
LGC’s Teddington site has again been recognised for
its consistent excellence in Occupational Health and Safety by
RoSPA, with the presentation
of the Order of
Distinction, following 15 consecutive years of RoSPA Gold,
Gold Medal and Presidents Awards.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is a
registered charity established over 80 years ago and aims to
campaign for change, influence opinion, contribute to debate,
educate and inform - for the good of all. There are three
fundamental purposes to the RoSPA scheme: to motivate improvement
in health and safety performance by providing targets (through
different award levels); to recognise and celebrate health and
safety achievements at a national level; and to provide role models
for other organisations to follow.
The application process for the award includes the completion of
ten key performance questions, an overview of LGC’s health and
safety system and a full portfolio including all relevant
documentation.
This award is highly regarded by the staff and management
at LGC and is recognised as being a significant achievement
for the company.
John Day, Head of Quality and Safety at LGC, commented:
"The award reflects the commitment by all staff towards
safe working systems and practices and it is by their efforts that
this award has been achieved."
John Day is to chair the
´Laboratory Safety and Biosafety´ conference on 3 October as
part of
L.A.B. 2007, the European trade fair and conference series
devoted to analysis, bio and laboratory equipment at ExCel, London,
from 2-4 October, organised by Leipziger Messe.
