UM Terminals wins global health and safety award
UM Terminals, the bulk liquid storage specialist, has won a prestigious Gold Award in this year’s RoSPA Health & Safety Awards.
Achieving Gold, the highest level possible, comes just a year after the company won a Silver Award – the first time it had entered the awards.
The awards celebrate companies globally which have demonstrated a commitment to health and safety excellence.
Rebecca Broughton-Lee, UM Group’s EHS manager, who oversaw the application, said: “To go from Silver to Gold in the space of a year is a fantastic achievement and recognition of the hard work put in by everyone across our sites in Liverpool, Hull and Portbury.
“We had to provide detailed submissions and supporting documentation looking at the many different areas of our safety management system. This included how we manage occupational health, risk management, training and our safety record over the preceding 12 months.”
Vic Brodrick, UM Terminals’ managing director, said: “Achieving the RoSPA Gold Award provides external verification that the health and safety processes and systems we have in place within the organisation are of the highest possible standard.
““Progressing from Silver last time to Gold in 2025 also, importantly, highlights our commitment to the ongoing development and enhancement of these systems.”
Now in its 69th year, and with almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, covering over seven million employees, the RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme, recognising those organisations and individuals who have set the highest standards in accident prevention.
