Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership Ltd has been awarded a RoSPA gold award for their commitment to health and safety.

LSHP is a public-private partnership which has co-ordinated the build of and manages 11 new health facilities in Liverpool, representing £100 million of investment in the city.

For the third year in a row, the organisation has been given a gold award by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

They will be presented with the award during a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel, on July 13th.

RoSPA’s mission is to save lives and reduce injuries for all ages and stages of life. To support this mission, the RoSPA awards were set up to celebrate those actively working to improve their accident and ill health prevention at work.

The scheme will be celebrating 60 years of presenting highly-regarded and sought after accolades to businesses and organisations which have shown commitment to the cause.

Through the scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of awards and events, said:

“To win an award at such a highly-regarded event as the RoSPA Awards is a great achievement for our winners. It recognises their commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record and raises the bar for other organisations to aspire to. We offer them our congratulations. This year was doubly special for our winners as their achievements were recognised as the RoSPA Awards celebrated its diamond anniversary, which is a ringing endorsement of the thousands of businesses and organisations that have committed to continuous improvement in accident and ill-health prevention.”

Michael Webb, general manager of LSHP Ltd, said:

“We are delighted to receive the gold award for a third year running as it highlights the tremendous work we put into ensuring our buildings have the highest standards in terms of safety.”
