BECK is delighted to have been awarded a Distinction by the British Safety Council at the International Safety Awards 2022.

The awards are an internationally recognised accolade for safety excellence.  Now in their 64th year, they recognise an organisation’s commitment to excellent standards of health, safety and wellbeing management.  They celebrate organisations around the world who have demonstrated a commitment to occupational health, safety and wellbeing, regardless of their size or the sector they operate within.  The awards also acknowledge organisations that have shown commitment to wellbeing and mental health at work.

This year 647 applications from 39 countries were received, from organisations working hard to keep their employees and workplaces safe and healthy during the 2021 calendar year.  In total, 549 organisations won an International Safety Award, of varying levels. These organisations span all sectors with significant representation from the construction, manufacturing, oil, gas, mining, power and utility industries.  Just 135 organisations were awarded a Distinction, 204 were awarded a Merit and 210 achieved a Pass.

Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of British Safety Council, congratulated BECK on their success in winning an International Safety Award 2022 with a Distinction: “The British Safety Council applauds BECK on their achievement. The award is in recognition of their commitment and hard work to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health.

“The vision of the British Safety Council is that no-one should be injured or made ill through their work – anywhere in the world. Achieving this requires more than complying with legislation; it means people committed not only to health and safety but also more and more to workplace wellbeing and impelling others to follow suit.

“The long list of winners of the International Safety Awards, demonstrates that a significant number of companies recognise that effective management of health and safety risks is a business growth enabler, benefiting not just employees, but organisations and wider society.

By celebrating the achievements of the 549 winners of the 2022 International Safety Awards and over six decades of improving health and safety standards around the world, we encourage other organisations to adopt this approach and place employees’ health, safety and wellbeing at the core of their business.  Our heartfelt congratulations to BECK. All of those working at BECK should be enormously proud of their achievement.”
