For the sixth consecutive year we are proud to have achieved the RoSPA Gold Medal Award highlighting our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of our customers. Additionally, we're delighted to have also landed an Industry Sector Award and praised for our commitment to health and safety within the Public Service and Local Government Sector.
The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards, in their 68th year, highlight organisations like ours that prioritise safety. With nearly 2,000 entries annually, these awards celebrate those who create safer environments for all.
Afzal Ismail, Group Director of Corporate Services at Orbit, commented: “These awards from RoSPA reflect the constant focus we place on the health and safety of both customers and colleagues at Orbit, recognising the dedication and diligence shown by our teams to maintain excellent standards. We are honoured to receive these awards, which are a proud symbol for us as an organisation but crucially, reinforce our responsibility within the housing sector.”
Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: “Workplace accidents don't just pose financial risks and operational disruptions; they significantly impact the quality of life for individuals. This is why acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital. We congratulate Orbit for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”
Our consistent success in the RoSPA Awards demonstrates our ongoing commitment to excellence in health and safety. In 2021, we made history as the first affordable housing provider to adopt RoSPA’s Safer by Design framework for all future new-build homes, showing our dedication to reducing accidents and injuries in our communities.
