Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, congratulated Bennett Construction’s Buckle Street Team on their success in winning an International Safety Award 2021 with a Distinction: “The British Safety Council applauds Bennett on their achievement. The award is in recognition of their commitment and hard work to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health.   

“The vision of the British Safety Council is that no-one should be injured or made ill through their work – anywhere in the world. Achieving this requires more than complying with legislation; it means people committed not only to health and safety but also more and more to workplace wellbeing and impelling others to follow suit.

“The long list of winners of the International Safety Awards, demonstrates that a significant number of companies recognise that effective management of health and safety risks is a business growth enabler, benefiting not just employees, but organisations and wider society. By celebrating the achievements of the 387 winners of the 2021 International Safety Awards and over six decades of improving health and safety standards around the world, we encourage other organisations to adopt this approach and place employees’ health, safety and wellbeing at the core of their business.”

 “Our heartfelt congratulations to Bennett Construction’s Buckle Street Team. All of those working at Bennett Construction  should be enormously proud of their achievement.”
