The award was presented to Eddie McVeigh, NI Water’s Head of Occupational Health and Safety on Wednesday 22 September 2010:
“We are delighted to have received such a prestigious award as it recognises the efforts of all our employees in promoting a safe working culture. This Gold Award follows on from our Silver Award in 2009 and demonstrates the continuous commitment of all staff within NI Water in the pursuit of a safe and healthy workplace.”
The RoSPA Awards scheme is not only about reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at work; it also encourages organisations to develop robust health and safety management systems.
