Now in their 65th year, the International Safety Awards recognise and celebrate organisations from around the world, which have demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges, their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health during the previous calendar year.

This year, VolkerFitzpatrick achieved a Distinction for its work on the A31 Ringwood Widening project and Merits for its Gosforth Depot and Haberdashers’ Boys’ School projects. All three awards reflect the business’ commitment to health, safety and wellbeing during 2021.

Andrew Battye, health and safety director for VolkerFitzpatrick, said: “It is fantastic to receive this recognition of our commitment to safety across the business. The safety and wellbeing of everyone working on our behalf is of paramount importance to us, and these awards reflect our commitment and the significant achievements of the past year.”
