London Luton Airport has been honoured for what it said was its “dedication to ensuring its staff, passengers, and contractors get home safely at the end of every working day”.
The airport on May 19 announced it has won a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) award, prompting operations director Neil Thompson to say “we are delighted to receive this prestigious recognition”.
The airport described the 67-year-old RoSPA as “the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK” and one which “recognises organisations’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work”.
“Accidents at work and work-related ill health don’t just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. That’s why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded,” said Julia Small, RoSPA’s achievements director.
“Our aim now is to continue to deliver outstanding safety values, practice and performance across our operation,” Thompson added.
