News: Bramall strikes gold at health and safety awards

Rotherham social housing specialist, Bramall Construction has won a number of awards at this year's National House-Building Council's (NHBC) Health and Safety Awards.

The Manvers company was awarded gold status in the Company Recognition Awards for their operations in Yorkshire and in the North West. An audit on which this award is based is an exacting examination of the way that health and safety is managed within an organisation, which results in companies being rewarded for exceptional performance in specific areas.

Bramall also picked up a special award for the Best Occupational Health Initiative by showing judges that by working closely with their contractors, it is possible to successfully tackle major issues that can affect the health of workers.

Bramall construction sites in Tiverton Close, Knowsley and Park Dale, Airedale were also commended for their health and safety.

Bramall's Health and Safety Manager for Yorkshire and the East Midlands, Sharon Lyon, said: "This recognition is a true testament to the hard work that comes from across the company to ensure that health and safety is maintained at a high level.

"It reminds us that health and safety at Bramall is everybody's responsibility."

Parent company Keepmoat picked up an overall "Group of Companies" Recognition award.
