ATG Access, a leading manufacturer of hostile vehicle mitigation and perimeter security systems, has been awarded a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold Award for the fourth consecutive year in recognition of its commitment to workplace health and safety.
According to RoSPA, Gold Award winners demonstrate a very high level of occupational health and safety performance through well-developed management systems, a strong safety culture, outstanding risk control and very low levels of error, harm and loss.
The award was presented at the RoSPA Awards Ceremony held on 30 June at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London on Park Lane, where representatives from ATG Access accepted the accolade.
Four years of award success
The latest award marks ATG Access’s fourth consecutive RoSPA Award and reflects the company’s continued commitment to embedding health and safety throughout its operations, supply chain and project delivery activities.
Health and safety performance was assessed across a broad range of areas, including leadership, employee engagement, training and competence, contractor management, risk control, communication, auditing, incident investigation and continuous improvement.
During the assessment period, ATG Access achieved the highest health and safety audit score across its wider group at 91%, alongside one of the group’s strongest safety culture scores of 98%.
The company has also recorded just one lost-time accident during the past five years.
Continued investment in safety
ATG Access said its approach combines strong leadership, employee involvement and ongoing investment in safety systems and training.
Initiatives supporting the award included regular cross-functional health and safety committee meetings, enhanced contractor management procedures, continuous training programmes, mental health and wellbeing support, and the use of digital reporting tools to identify hazards and drive continuous improvement.
The company has also invested in new operational safety measures, including upgraded equipment, pedestrian detection systems and strengthened permit-to-work procedures.
Looking ahead, ATG Access plans to build on its latest RoSPA success through further investment in health and safety initiatives, continued training and culture programmes, and ongoing analysis of safety performance data to identify future improvement opportunities.
Richard Ellis, Managing Director at ATG Access, said: “This award provides independent recognition of the work our teams put in every day to create and maintain a safe, healthy working environment.
“We are proud to have achieved this for the fourth time in a row, demonstrating our consistent commitment to protecting our people, supporting our customers and continuously improving the way we work.
“Health and safety is ingrained into our way of working, our mindset and our culture. We create safe working environments, invest in employee wellbeing, share best practice across our supply chain and maintain high standards of quality and operational performance.
“We want every employee, contractor and stakeholder to feel empowered to raise concerns, contribute ideas and help us improve. That commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.”
