A&H Construction is proud to announce that we have won a prestigious International Safety Award for 2004 from the British Safety Council. This is the third year running we have achieved the high standards required including below average accident rates, good safety policies and safety plans and commitment to health and safety at the highest board level. 

Award winners include large and small enterprises all over the country, from the public and private sectors and only companies with below average accident rates are eligible to apply and they have faced a tough test in order to satisfy the independent Awards Panel.

Winners must also detail their health and safety officers' qualifications and provide details of significant advances they have made in health and safety for the year.

Mr David Ballard, Director General of the British Safety Council, says: "The International Safety Awards highlight organisations that demonstrate commitment to health and safety. They are a mark of a proven and significant achievement in safety standards. By making safety an important feature of everyday work practice, A&H Construction is reducing accidents and ill health while improving productivity and profitability."

Prime Minister Tony Blair sent a message to winners via his office: "At its best, sensible health and safety should be about managing risks, rather than trying to eliminate them altogether. Managing risks has a benefit not just to employees, but also to the economy as a whole, helping to tackle the 39 million days lost each year to ill health and injuries."
