Broadacres is a RoSPA Presidents Award Winner

Broadacres Housing Association is celebrating winning the prestigious President’s Award at the 2009 RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards.

The award was received at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel on 14 May 2009 by Guru Naidoo, Director of Corporate Services and Chris Skidmore, Health and Safety Officer.

Organisations are eligible for the RoSPA Presidents Award for being awarded 10 or more consecutive gold awards. From over 1700 applicants Broadacres are one of only 120 organisations nationwide to have been awarded the President’s award this year, and the only organisation from the social housing sector.

Guru Naidoo commented “To achieve the award, Broadacres had to supply RoSPA with evidence of systems in place relating to ten key performance areas, from training and communication to monitoring and reviewing procedures. To have done this now 10 years in a row is testament to the commitment of all employees at Broadacres towards establishing and maintaining an effective safety culture.”
