Builders merchant chain takes home four silver awards from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
Jewsons, part of Saint-Gobain Building Distribution, won the awards at RoSPA's annual Occupational Health and Safety Awards for its operations in Scotland, Wales, east, west and central England.

The accolades were presented at a ceremony hosted at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole Hotel on Wednesday, May 13.

Saint-Gobain health and safety director Kevin Crawley said: "These awards show we are improving year on year - this year we have won an unprecedented nine awards across the group - four of which were for Jewson."

RoSPA awards manager David Rawlins said: "Jewson has shown a commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its employees and others."

To achieve a RoSPA silver award, Jewson had to answer key performance questions, provide evidence of occupational health and safety management systems and culture, improve compliance with control measures for principal risks and action on health issues, as well as reduce accident rates, ensuring that no fatal or major injuries occurred due to employer negligence.
