Palletline Ltd has achieved a Gold Medal (6 consecutive Golds) in the internationally-renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards, the longest-running industry awards scheme in the UK.
They were presented with the award during a ceremony at Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on Thursday 5th July 2018.
The RoSPA Awards scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises achievement in health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Graham Leitch, Group Managing Director Palletline Ltd, comments: “We are delighted that the excellent work of our health and safety team, led by Ken Bell, continues to be acknowledged by RoSPA. Palletline has established a culture where health and safety play an integral part in everything we do. Our comprehensive focus on safety improves our offering to our members and their customers.”

Palletline believes in exemplary commitment to continuous improvement. I am proud to say that health and safety is taken seriously at all levels and driven as a priority from the top.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards are the most highly-respected in the health and safety arena, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, and allow organisations to prove excellence in the workplace, demonstrating a commitment to the wellbeing of not only employees but all those who interact with it.”
The majority of awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards, orders of distinction and the Patron’s Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.
