Gold double for Rixonway Kitchens at RoSPA Awards

Dewsbury-based Rixonway Kitchens, one of the leading manufacturers working in affordable and social housing, has been awarded two Gold Awards by safety charity the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

Rixonway’s approach to occupational health and safety was recognised for the fourth year running, with the addition of a Gold RoSPA MORR, awarded for Rixonway’s performance in Managing Occupational Road Risk. The awards were presented at a ceremony held on 14 May, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

Dating back 57 years, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the largest and longest-running programme of its kind in the UK. It recognises commitment to accident and ill health prevention and is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas. The scheme not only looks at accident records, but also entrants’ overall health and safety, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “RoSPA firmly believes that organisations which demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition.

“Rixonway Kitchens has shown that it is dedicated to striving for ever higher thresholds and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”

Nick Greenall, operations director at Rixonway Kitchens, said: “We are delighted to have won a RoSPA Award for the fourth year running. We constantly monitor and update our rigorous processes to ensure our standards remain some of the highest in the industry.”

The majority of awards that RoSPA presents are non-competitive, marking achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations maintaining high standards can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.
