Kuwait Petroleum International has
been successful in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
(RoSPA) Occupational Health and Safety
Awards 2016 and has achieved the Gold Medal Award (5 consecutive Golds) in the
prestigious annual scheme. KPI SHE Department representative John Briggs will be
presented with the award during a ceremony at the ExCeL,
London on June 21, 2016, as the event marked its diamond
anniversary.
The RoSPA Awards is celebrating 60
years of presenting highly-regarded and sought after accolades to businesses and
organisations which have shown commitment to accident and ill-health prevention.
Through the scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types
and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants' overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.
Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards
and events, said: “To win an award at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA
Awards is a great achievement for our winners. It recognises their commitment to
maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other
organisations to aspire to. We offer them our congratulations. This year was
doubly special for our winners as their achievements were recognised as the
RoSPA Awards celebrated its diamond anniversary, which is a ringing endorsement
of the thousands of businesses and organisations that have committed to
continuous improvement in accident and ill-health
prevention.”
Mr Khaled Al-Mushaileh, KPI VP Europe, said:
“This is indeed very good news for KPI which
has once again re-approved our commitments and performance on HSSE. Winning 5
consecutive Gold awards from the prestigious RoSPA is amazing and I congratulate
the whole HSSE teams across our all KPI establishments on this achievement. I
wish KPI SSHE Department many more achievements in future and further success
while dealing with the HSSE regulations & practices which are becoming
increasingly tough and challenging day by day.”.
