AVT Reliability has achieved a RoSPA Gold Award for the third year in succession. The Warrington-based plant-reliability specialist was recognised for its “exemplary health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement, which help to ensure a safe environment for its colleagues and clients”.

Frederic Thomas, managing director of AVT Reliability, said: “We pride ourselves on ensuring that our clients’ critical assets are maintained to the highest standards so manufacturing environments remain safe and hazard-free. This ethos of excellence runs throughout the company, from colleagues in our offices to operatives out on site. We’re delighted that this has been recognised once again with this award from RoSPA.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s head of qualifications, awards and events, said: “The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, but it receives entries from organisations around the world, making it one of the most sought-after global accolades in health and safety.

“RoSPA wants every employee, wherever they are, to work safe in the knowledge that they will be going home unharmed and healthy at the end of every day.

“The RoSPA Award winners are vital to help achieve this goal, as by entering they are driving up standards and setting new benchmarks for organisations everywhere.”

Due to the restrictions brought about by Covid-19, AVT Reliability received its Gold Award at a virtual ceremony on 3 September.
