Health and safety excellence at Cambridge Regional College

Cambridge Regional College has been recognised for its achievements in helping staff, students and visitors get home safely at the end of the working day.

The college has been awarded an Order of Distinction from an international organisation, after securing 21 consecutive golds for health and safety excellence.

The RoSPA Awards scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises exemplary health and safety management systems.

Jeff Moody, Health and Safety Officer at Cambridge Regional College, said: “The health and safety of students, staff and visitors is something we take very seriously.

“We are delighted that the smooth and successful processes we have put in place are being recognised in this way.

“Achieving an Order of Distinction is something to be proud of and further evidence of our continued commitment to putting students and staff at the heart of what we do.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “Our awards have become the key fixture in the health and safety. Highly-respected, with almost 2,000 entrants every year, RoSPA award winners benefit from the wide-ranging rewards of improved sector reputation.”

Internationally-renowned, the awards are the longest-running industry award scheme in the UK.

CRC will be presented with the award during a ceremony at Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel in June.

The majority of awards are given at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels.

Gold medals, President’s Awards, Orders of Distinction, like the one given to CRC, and the Patron’s Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.

Competitive awards go to the best entries in 24 industry sectors including construction, healthcare, transport and logistics, engineering, manufacturing and education.
