The International Safety Awards are independently marked by experienced health and safety practitioners.

Now in their 57th year, the awards seek to celebrate and promote the success of organisations in protecting their employees from the risk of injury and ill health at work.

Phillip Watson, a manager at Training 2000 said: “This award is based on evidence we submit in response to questions set by the British Safety Council.

“There is then a three-day, on-site audit of our systems, which seeks to prove excellence in health and safety which goes above and beyond the legal requirement.

“By winning this award we have demonstrated our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our staff.”
